> Even getting an OS, compiler etc is not that easy. There's a GCC fork [0], macro11 [1] (GCC and clang also both have macro11 backends), ack [2] and more. Getting hold of a modern compiler is trivial. > It's kind of hard to get hold of a PDP-11 these days. The PiDP-11 [3] emulator that runs on a Pi, is fairly popular among the retro crowd. So sourcing something hardware wise that behaves that way is easily possible. The Computer History Simulation Project [4] will give you easy access to simulating a PDP-11 on just about anything that you own. But if you want the original hardware, then they're in the $400-500 range, in my area. Easy to source.
