That has been discussed before. It would be fun to do something like the
PDP8-S on a single PCB with only resistors, capacitors, SOT-23 transistors and
dual diodes (And yes LEDs in all the FF outputs would be nice).

One thing that I think *would* be awesome in surface mount,
would be to do a "scale model" based on the straight-8, with
all those little SMT diodes and transistors, and no logic
IC's at all (except possibly some SMT RAM to replace the core
planes) :-).

(It might also be cool to make some of the diodes the glowing kind.)
Solder paste and hot air are infinitely easier.
But can you do POPCORN too. :)
Still I would like to see in surface mount ---
tiny Flip/Clips and see how small you can build
a PDP-{Favorate number}.
