    I wonder what the technical differences are to the pdp2011 project: https://pdp2011.sytse.net/wordpress/

      Technical difference. Shipping and operating in the wild. The vax / pdp11 rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper .

    This would be something to see. Certainly having a cycle accurate machine would be amazing as the amount of bulky hardware dies off each year. I guess the fPU is not available. I can’t imagine it’s the complexity.

    I did mostly a cursory read so it may be the dumbest question. I couldn’t really see if there is an all up system built. Anyone know ?

      Doesn't look like it _yet_. Seems to require a connected computer to provide most of the devices over a high-speed serial link. But that could be handled by an RPi nowadays.
