building a PDP11 from the things you find at home - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

   As far as you
can build a mainframe from the things you find at home...

 It's pretty true if you start with Simh26... PDP11, PDP8, PDP10.  
 No, not an emulation, a real machine....

 Actually, round here, you probably couldn't run the emulator (and 
 certainly not at any reasonable speed) on any of the machines I own. But 
 if you dug about a bit, you might find enough parts to make at least a 
 minicomputer from scratch... 
Tony-

I'm running SIMH on a 233MHz Pentium-1 with rather good response. At
least, TOPS-10 seems as fast as it was at university loaded with
students...
