I know there are PDP11 cards that can be put in PCs, that's not what

What do you mean "right down on the iron"? You couldn't run PDP-11
binaries on i386 hardware, if that's what you mean. Do you mean
something that is effectively a self-contained operating system, that
will boot up and just be a PDP-11 emulator?
The latter, or perhaps it runs from DOS but it takes over all the
ports, both serial ports would support terminals, and the parallel port
would support a printer. Actually it would probably have to run over
some OS so that it could emulate hard drives as files, since the normal
PDP-11 hard drive was much smaller than todays 60gb monster.
