The latter projects would be fun. I've been pondering getting one to
put as small a linux distro on as possible and then getting Brad
Parker's CADR emulator http://www.unlambda.com/cadr/ running on it.
That would make for a screaming little LISP machine :)
Getting SIMH & running 2.11BSD on it's emulated PDP-11 or VMS on the
emulated VAX could be entertaining as well.

I'd want the option of putting Linux on there. Though my current
UNIX box only has 256Mb. :-) Realistically I'll probably see about
turning it into a PDP-11 or PDP-10 after I play with RISC OS for an
hour or two.

The talk about the Acorn and RISC OS reminds me that I've been interested
in
one of these, primarily to run RISC OS. What is the recommended
version, price, and place to get a Raspberry Pi from?
I assume I want a "2.0 Model B 512Mb"? I've found a seller on eBay with
this and they include a case for $57.
If you want to keep it super cheap, try to find a Linux user upgrading to
the 512MB version. 256MB is a vast amount of RAM for Risc OS, whereas it is
not enough for a graphical Linux desktop. You really don't need half a gig
for Risc OS, unless of course you want to run Linux as well.
