going to be, by necessity, some compromises made. Witness the previous
discussion on
the IBM 1620 where the core memory has been replaced with a modern
equivalent in order
to allow it to work. I view this in a similar vein.
I also think that given the historical significance of both Unix V1 and
the 11/20, this is a
worthwhile endeavor.

I could, but
the point is to run 1972 Unix on machine that was around
in 1972, even if I have emulate things like the RF disks.
Except that the MEM11
wasn't around in 1972.
