.....(all his good ideas).....

! Once this is working, build a new chip for each of the other 
! popular VAX busses (VAXBI?), and build a similar
! single-board replacement for those architectures.  Also look
! at board replacements for the littler machines, such as
! VaxStation2000, 3xxx, 4xxx, etc.

	Now I don't really know about the programming part, but from a
manufacturing point, how about making this an expansion board/daughtercard
combo instead? Put all of your common VAXen goodies on the daughtercard,
which would then plug into/onto the bus-specific expansion card. Either sit
right above it, or by way of a ribbon cable...
	Since there would be only one process for making the daughtercard,
which is the heart of this little gem, quality control (and
replacement/repair too) would definitely be easier.
