Looking at the info on the Raspberry Pi website, it looks like the
CPU is equivalent to about a Pentium II 300Mhz. That would give it
about 1.5x the speed of a KL10 under KLH10, or maybe 2x a fast PDP-11
under E11 or SIMH, I suspect it would still be slower than a
VAX-11/725, VAX-11/730, or MicroVAX I. I think an Atom board would
be the minimum for VAX emulation.

I'd want the option of putting Linux on
there. Though my current
UNIX box only has 256Mb. :-) Realistically I'll probably see about
turning it into a PDP-11 or PDP-10 after I play with RISC OS for an
hour or two.
I've got as far as installing SIMH on mine. I've not yet grabbed a VMS
ISO so that I can actually boot a VAX (yet ...).
Too many projects, too little time ...
