Aren't we all! :-)

I think that was probably Brad Parker's prototype?

Available today, no. But there are a number of projects which will probably
be cranking out UNIBUS DEC controller emulators with modern storage backends.
I gather Guy's MEM11 project will probably eventually spin off a version with
a larger disk, and Bridgham and I are planning on doing a UNIBUS version of
our card once the QBUS version is done. (Actually, ours is planned to include
an ENABLE too, with 4MB of memory, for those of us with 34's, 40's, 45's,
etc.) Any more?
