Dec kind of did this with the pdt11 series of systems. The q bus was basically emulated
with a pair of 8085 CPUs to emulate Dec peripherals.
Fine enough but kind of meh.

Why not try?
I'm open to your comments.
As for the UNIBUS unobtainable transceivers: I think the best solution is
to use AM26S10 for drivers, and an LVC logic powered at 3.3v for receivers.
Both are active parts costing nuts.
I would try this approach.
Can a similar bus to the unibus be designed with standard parts using fewer
cards?Memory and IO could all fit on one card.
