PDP-11 made out of
real hardware would be a 4-slot dual-height backplane, with a
dual-height CPU (ideally a PDP-11/73), DLV-11J (providing console
port), 3rd party disk controller w/bootstrap (preferably SCSI). That
would leave room for one additional dual-height board.
What about memory? All the dual-height CPUs including the KDJ11-A are
CPU-only.
You'd be better using an MXV11-B (you can disable the bootstrap)
instead of the DLV11-J.
Smallest of all would be a Falcon or one of the other KXT11 series.
Everything on one card, and you could add a disk controller if you
wanted.
