PDP-1 in Verilog (Incomplete) + More

[Jay jaeger]

Sorry, not interested.  My next project of that sort is for the IBM 1410.

Would you be interested in implementing this microcontroller in VHDL?  I'm trying to learn VHDL, but my many projects keep wanting my time.  :)  I believe there is plenty of reference material for you to use.  I've collected some documentation myself that I would be happy to share if need be.  Please let me know what you think.  Take care my friend.
