So, things are moving forward. I also wanted to

the need to actually produce
an SBC form factor board. In other words (and sort of in line with how

original 11/20) is it OK to have the MEM11 be outside of the 11/20
chassis and connect via BC11A
(my replica) cables?
main problem would be now you'll have to come up with a box and a power
supply
I assume you meant SPC (quad unibus) and not SBC
I'm envisioning a 1U enclosure connecting to the 11/20 by BC11A, as you
suggest. The device could have its own PSU to avoid the risk of
overloading the 11/20's supply, and fit in a standard rack if desired.
Make it so! :-)
