Your looking for the intersil "sampler" a 6960 with 256words or ram and
1kw of rom plus a interface chip. CPU is 6100. you need a TTY or tty
emulator
and also the IO is NOT PDP-8 compatable.

Can't even imagine.... I've had the 5000 Quattro Turbo up to 140mph
on a local straight section of interstate.... I think the car had more
to give, but my cajones max out at 140...
Hail to the chief!

Besides the various 3xxx and 4xxx series machines mentioned a
MicroVax2000
is also a possible machine and by far one of the smallest. It will run
V5.4 and
if you tailor it V7.2 (disk space is limited to a MFM rd54 of some
159mb).
Versions of VMS out there worth considering V5.4, 6.2 and 7.2 are common.

Yeah, but isn't that because Jeff Gordon owns them all?

Ahh, you've missed the entire point. Porsches aren't muscle cars.
There's more to cars than huge raw horsepower...sure a 70's camaro
with a 6.6 under the hood will toast my 911 off the line...but he'll
have to slow down to 25 to take the sharp turns that I take every day
at 60-70. And that very same 6.6-powered camaro will start to shake
itself apart at around 120-130, while I can trivially take my 911
clear up to 180 before I only back down because I'm pissing in my
pants.
I've seen that look of embarrassment on Porsche owners' faces before
too...but only the ones who've mistaken their Porsches for muscle
cars.
I've owned two 911s...Knock 'em all you want, but drive one for a
while before you do so. Otherwise, and I mean this respectfully, you
frankly have no idea what you're talking about.

I have 3 spare copies of Nextstep Developer ver 3.2.
This is the complete package as it came from NeXT still in the
original package. That includes:
Packing List
CDROM in its original case.
'Thank You' letter from NeXT for purchasing.
Supplemental Release Notes (5 pages)
Installalation Pamphlet
License Agreement
Customer Satisfaction Survey postcard
It does not include any comprehensive documentation on how to 'develop'
applications. From what I understand, Developer 3.2 does work with
NeXT OS 3.3. Also the CD is clearly marked "...for Intel processores
and NeXT computers", so if you have the NeXT OS on an Intel box also then
here's your chance.
Of the three packages, one has not been opened and another has been
opened but the CD case is still sealed.
I'm asking $15 + $5 S&H, check, MO or Paypal.

I have a KDJ11-SD (M7554-SD from a DECserver 550) that uses 27256 ROMs, and
a KDJ11-DA (from a PDP-11/53) that uses 27128 ROMs. Someone emailed me the
PDP-11/53 boot ROM hex files. They're numbered 261E5.hex and 262E5.hex. I
burned these into a pair of 27128's and plugged them into the -DA board, and
it runs great.
If I plug these ROMs into the -SD, I get the slow "KDJ11-D/S 1.0" message
that means that the powerup selftest can't even get off the starting line.
I'm guessing it means a bad ROM checksum. This same board runs RT-11 and
2.11BSD great if I boot from the Andromeda UDC11 disk controller.
I tried burning these hex files into 27256 ROMs several different ways, for
example:
first half second half
---------- -----------
firmware all zeros
firmware all ones
all ones firmware <- this emulates 27128, A14 replaces PGM
all zeros firmware
You can plug a 27256 into a 27128 socket if it has been burned like case 3,
since a run-mode 27128 socket has PGM/A14 pulled high. The board will not be
able to tell the difference.
Can anyone tell me the magic key to getting the ROMs burned for the -SD?
Maybe there is a jumper that tells the board to use 27128 ROMs, but I
haven't figured that out. I've figured out all but three of the jumpers by
now.
