It should be as easy to design in as a 68000, and a lot of fun to program.
Hmm... a T-11-based PDA... just stick an LCD on it, add a keypad and

The T-11 would make a fun little board if you
happen to know or want
to learn the PDP-11 instruction set and have a use in mind for some
configuration smaller than a console line and a disk/disk emulator.
On the other hand, the Russians used their clone of a PDP-11
microprocessor in a bunch of products--even a pocket calculator.
