Jerome Fine replies:

The most important part of the answer is first finding out if you want
to run RSX or just RSX code. And if real PDP-11 hardware is
important (as many of the fellows on this list insist upon) or just
being able to run PDP-11 code in general.

If you want speed and don't care what the hardware is (namely you
don't mind running on a PC), try the hobby version of the emulator
which runs much faster than real PDP-11 hardware even on low
end PC hardware (like a Pentium 166 system). You can find
everything at:

and the directories start in:

If you would like more information, please ask.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
