This has appeal as I have info on the T-11 and would love to build a
system around it but not have to be locked to DEC IO configs as that
complicates the design. Doing a 28kw system with boot Eprom with that
chips is trivial, the io gets to be a pain if you want to run DEC
software. However, running non-DEC has some appeal to the but there are
few things that source level stuff (other than unix) is available for.
