SIMH on a Game Boy Advanced
Anyone else see this web site where a guy is using SIMH PDP-11 on
a Game Boy Advance to run an old version of UNIX?

I'm tempted to see if I could get RT or RSX to run on the thing.

The problem I see is the lack of a keyboard input device. The guy that
implemented this bypassed this by having a list of "canned" commands to run.
RT-11 and TSX-11 could fit on an RK05 image, but RSX or RSTS would be
difficult I should think. I think there are also some fairly strong
requirements on the size of the emulated PDP-11's RAM that might effectively
limit you to RT-11 (or very old versions of other OS's).
