I think a major issue is that as Vaxen are readily (well I have two Vax
Stations so they can't me that uncommon) available, then there isn't the
same incentive as for other platforms. I also think that it would be
advantageous to have some kind of BUS implementation. One of the great
things about the VAX is the expansion bus....

Basically, my question is what are the major obstacles (besides the
breadth of the project) to implementing the VAX in an FPGA, as
compared to any other ISA
