The later PDP 8's could have even had state table roms.
I think fab a
real chip would be a better idea -- but then how many

Ok, I don't . Looking at a different post the vax has large microcode,
so a FPGA that
can have internal ram be configured as micro-code tables would be handy.
Did all VAX machines have microcode?
