Agreed. I'd buy one.
Actually one of the guys I work with has done an FPGA design of a
PDP-10. He's partitioned it into 3 Xilinix parts. It passes all of
the DEC CPU diagnostics on a Verilog simulator. He's talked a little
bit about it on alt.sys.pdp10. He figures by using Spartan 3E parts
and not doing a lot of optimization he can get ~30-40MHz out of it
with no problems (ie trying to go faster would take a lot of work and/
or much more expensive FPGAs).

Interesting. I don't suppose their PDP-10 chips are available for
purchase
separately? Maybe we could get Bob Armstrong of SparetimeGizmos to
build a
PDP-10 kit!
That would be amazing.
