For quite some time I&#x27;ve been toying with the idea of building CPLD&#x2F;FPGA recreations of pioneering computers like the Alto, the Lilith, the Symbolics series, the Tektronix storage CRT machines and the PDP-[1~8]. I know people have done it with MSXs and Apple II&#x27;s, C-64&#x27;s and even the Cray I, but it would be lovely to be able to gift someone with a simple to use (I understand operating a PDP-x is NOT simple) recreation of this cherished machines.<p>Of course, when appropriate, an as faithful as practical recreation of the original keyboards (or front panels) should be made available.
