_CON_ditions _O_ut; it's a PDP-10 I/O instruction. This is what
communicates with the Idler device that you put at address 700.
At a very high level, PDP-10 is split into two halfs, instructions for
'conditioning' the device and reading its condition (or status bits) and
instructions for performing I/O. On the 80x86 platform, IN and OUT are
used, with status registers being at different addresses then data
registers.
Note: I have ignored DMA, block transfers and PI.
The Idler will actually handle data transfers, but that is another story.
