Well, you say that, but…..
I just ordered https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11
<https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11> , and it contains a
prototyping area now so you can do stuff like
https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11-temp-barometer-hack
<https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11-temp-barometer-hack> .
But, I mean…that’s a modern micro that looks to the PiDP-11 as if it were a
Unibus peripheral, so it’s a decent model for what you want to do.
And then there’s the Unibone….http://retrocmp.com/projects/unibone
<http://retrocmp.com/projects/unibone> if you want to drop some modern stuff
into a real Unibus backplane.
