Interestingly, I have been working on a PDP-11 emulator and recently
finished adding virtual memory hardware to it.  I hope to get it to the
point where I can boot V7 or 2.10BSD on it....

That is actually the least of the problems.  Much more significant are
the different floating-point formats and the big one: speed.  (My
current version blazes right along at about 5-10 KIPS.  K, not M.)

If you really want a copy, I can send you one, but I don't have it in
release shape yet.
