I don't think I'd call that a replica. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I
thought it was based on a PC running an emulator. To me a replica of a
PDP1 would be a machine built as far as possible to the original
schematics (using more modern components if appropriate, like more common
tranasistors). But IMHO even the PSU should be built to the original design.
True, by the definition of the word it was not a replica. Perhaps
"simulation" is more apt.
