Has anyone attempted to reassemble and update the microcode on a MicroVAX?
Seems like there's enough stuff here to possibly do it:

I'm thinking about trying to find a microcoded architecture to play with
before I design something around the Intel 3000 series.
I've got a MicroVAX 3800, so I suppose I could run MICRO2 to assemble the
aforementioned microcode. But then what? I assume PALs would have to be
burned to implement the new microcode. Or is it more complicated than that?
I don't have a PDP-11/60, unfortunately. I do have an 11/45, though...so
with this modification, I suppose one could have some fun:
