        Okay, we know you're missing a missus, but isn't that a little
 strange? ;)

Well, the reason I wanted to do it *old* and *fast*...
I wanted to do it old because I actually own a first-revision PDP-11/70
which my father bought brand new back in the mid-70's when it first came
out before I was born.  It's a really really neat machine with gobs of I/O
bandwidth.  It's fast too.  So it made me think what I might be able to do
with modern components and still make it compatible with my 11/70.  (FYI,
my 11/70 is still working and is still original, down to its fuses and
fascia).
Peace...  Sridhar
