FPGA Brings UNIX v1 to the DEC J-11

If you’ve never used a PDP-11 before it’s probably because you simply weren’t around in the 70s and 80s. Although they started as expensive machines only in research labs and industry, they eventually became much more accessible.

⁉️They’re a bit of a landmark in computing history, too, being largely responsible for the development of things like UNIX and the C programming language [ryomuk] is using an FPGA in combination with an original DEC J-11 to bring us a new take on this machine.⁉️
