I been playing with FPGAs to create, Forth processors, on my list of 
items to create once I am more familiar with the VHDL software is to 
create a PDP11 from scratch, the reason it's beautiful instruction set. 
Funny thing is that with the FPGA one can create a PDP11 that is way 
faster than the original models.

The TI 99XX family, and Nova mini will follow shortly after the PDP11 is 
working. These processors have a very nice architecture, but I would 
build the TI99xx without some of the silly limitations put on it with 
the TI 9900 personal computers such as having 8 bit limited memory, and 
of course a much faster CPU clock.
