[geeks] lightbulb?

[Jonathan Katz]

Hi!

I think maybe it was the medication I'm on, but I
came up with something. (Official ear ache-- antibiotics,
nyquil and some tylenol PM.)

Anywho....

Someone mentioned a longing to run Multics.
Someone mentioned a longing to run a PDP-8.
Someone mentioned that they could run a PDP-8 using an FPGA.

Logically, couldn't we hack up an FPGA to pretend
it's a Honeywell/GE box and put Multics on that?

Not only would we be running Multics in a form-factor that
can fit in a... 3.5" drive bay, it would be hella faster
than anything it originally ran on.

Am I missing something?
