Console ODT was near universal in the LSI-11
(Qbus) family.  Unibus PDP-11s more usually
had device-specific boot ROMs on a separate
board.

Supnick's SIMH has a console interface common
across all the computer simulations (HP 2100,
H516, PDP-15, Nova, etc.); it allows one to
not only peek and poke RAM but also to attach
host files as specified device (image)s, etc.
