That is interesting. So does Raytheon or someone still make a custom CPU 
with the Alpha ISA? Or maybe foundryless, soft core, etc. I wasn't aware 
of that.

I was browsing around a few months back and found a catalog from a Russian 
electronics company. Current catalog ... and they appear to still be doing 
PDP-11 ... I know for sure ... and possibly VAX ... might be confabulating 
that ... CPUs. I thought that was neat. Assumedly for some mil-spec use.

Best,
