## Known differences between SimH, 11/70, and w11a
### SimH: Red stack zone PSW protection
The 11/70 includes location 177776 in the red stack zone. This is not
documented in the Processor Handbooks, only mentioned in the Technical
Manual. It was added to protect the `PSW` in case a further stack push
is done after an emergency stack was set up, the vector flow of a fatal
stack errors had concluded, and the handler does a stack push when `SP`
is still 0.
SimH doesn't support this behavior. W11 does.
