What about the 11/730? The 11/750 used 2901 bitslice processors which
might pose a challenge (???) I believe the 11/730 is pure TTL. It's
slow, and simpler than the 11/780 (I don't think it had provisions for the
PDP-11 compatibility mode). It's sort of a no-go if no one has any print
sets for it, but I believe it'd be easier to implement in VHDL than an
11/780.
