So, what did you have in mind?
To implement a specific model as close as possible to the original,
or just a fast VAX which doesn't need air conditioning?
Basically, my question is what are the major
obstacles (besides the
breadth of the project) to implementing the VAX in an FPGA, as
compared to any other ISA?
There are VAX-11/780 schematics, PLD truth tables, and microcode
available on bitsavers.org. I'd think that you could implement a '780
from the schematics.
