PDP-11 (any), 33kw, FDC RX01, Tube or TTY on a DL line.
Of all the version the PDP-11 version on the 11/03 was fastest
compared to apple or Z80 ports.

Out of curiousity, what are the hardware requirements to run it on a
PDP-11?

Typo? No more than 28 Kwords, I'd expect? I'm pretty sure I've
seen it running on an an 11/03, which won't readily support more than
that. Or did you mean 33 Kbytes?

Of all the version the PDP-11 version on the 11/03 was
fastest
compared to apple or Z80 ports.
That's an extremely interesting remark because of two of
the rumors I heard about the WD P-engine:
1) It failed because a Z80 could execute P-code faster
2) It was a remicrocoded 11/03
I'm fairly certain 2 was true, but I never did much work
with UCSD on a Z-80 (and never encountered a P-engine),
so I'm not sure about 1.
Oh, I did plenty of work with Pascal. It was just all in
OMSI on the PDP-11 or Turbo on the Z80 and x86. Towards the
end, Oregon Software (who bought the OMSI compiler) did an
MS-DOS version, which I did use a few times. I have a copy
of the manual but have misplaced the disks; they're no doubt
lost forever. I recall liking the compiler, but by that time
I wasn't using Pascal so much anymore.
