My fpga PDP11 is very complete. You can run all the historic operating
systems on it, including 2.11BSD. And you can even hook it up to
ethernet. No more need for a pc to simulate.

Got one for sale?
Ben.
You can buy the boards from Digilent or Terasic - or their resellers. That's
http://www.digilentinc.com/ and
http://www.terasic.com/ . Which is best
depends a bit on what you want to do with it - but the de0 from terasic is a
nice board to start out with. And the nexys2-1200 has the advantage that the
ethernet pmod from Digilent can be plugged in to it - and, if you want the
Ethernet stuff, you'd only need to deal with one vendor.
Can you write up a complete shopping list needed for a PDP-11 system
from scratch? This looks more fun to play with than the
other systems
talked about on this list.
