A KM11 might help, if you have one: there are a couple of sources for new ones
(I got mine from Guy), it will allow you to single-step the microcode, etc,
etc.

You don't need the SLR to run Unix V6 (in fact, IIRC, it doesn't use it). For
the clock, you don't absolutely have to have a KW11-L, you can substitute a
KW11-P - but V6 _has_ to have one or the other, or it panic()'s - some things
in the kernel have to have a working clock.

You will also need the KE11-E (M7238), as the Unix C compiler emits MUL, DIV
etc, and even the bootstrap uses them. The KE11-F (M7239) is useless; the V6
Unix C compiler doesn't generate that type of PDP-11 floating point.
