What technology is yours based on? Henk's was originally a 6802, but it
looks like it's shifted to a 6809 based on recent discussions. I only
ask because, like many here, I might end up hacking these sorts of things
if it's not too much work.
Also... your replica PDP-1 sounds intriguing... what are you doing about
switch handles? Are you going to use incandescent lights or filtered LEDs?
How are you implementing the DECscope? (Obviously it wouldn't be much
of an emulator if it didn't play SPACEWAR :-)
