Wouldn't it be a PRO-380? Well, unless you can clock it at 20 MHz
which was the original plan for the 380, but the J-11 failed to
deliver so they ended up at 10.
Note that making a PRO-38x means you have to reverse engineer the I/O
control gate array and the video hardware, both of which are likely to
be serious exercises in masochism. (Why reverse engineer the most
bone-headed I/O design in the history of DEC?) Either that, or a lot
of discrete parts to make a PRO-350 clone.
