I seem to remember that the Tech Processor Technologies 3P+S described how
to get a model 28 running with its IO board.  You'd have to check that, but
sure why not?  It's just harder to do anything with a machine that's not
really made for systems that generally-speaking look for ascii and 8 bit
tape to read in programs.
