There are PDP-8 emulators out there already, better ones than this too.
But I wanted one that was *mine*! (Shh, little secret, keep it under
your hat but it's an experiment, maybe a precursor to building an 8 in
TTL).
I'm probably high, but I'm still dreamy from the work the XKL guys did :-)
If you want to do it in an FPGA (well, CPLD), let me know - I'll help!
You can get some simple cpld kits from Xilinx for $99. I'd plop some
SRAM next to one and use a JTAG compliant port to load up the memory...
(and, well, you'd obviously need a bunch of LEDS also, otherwise, what
would be the point? :-)
