Chuck,

Your point is wholly valid, although the core will run more at 1 GHz than 200 
MHz.

The UniBone http://retrocmp.com/projects/unibone is a UniBus board capable of 
monitoring the unibus and of emulating CPU / rotating rust / memory / ...  With 
the bulk of the logic in c on an Arm Processor.  Jay Jaeger has just elaborated 
the UniBone's essentials.

Stupid question, I know, but someone has to ask it.

Is there some overwhelming reason that the FPGA and associated logic couldn't 
be subsumed into an inexpensive 32-bit MCU running at, oh, 200 MHz?  I can't 
believe that a PDP8 is all that fast...
