Summary: I want a T.O.A.D

How about a 36 bit processor with a DEC-20 architecture on a chip
or two?  To sell in systems with 1 MW of memory for $5-10K ?
The original DEC 36 bit machine  (the PDP6_ only had about
3000 gates, it ought to be a piece of cake...

It'd be so nice.....

Sigh...

"TOAD" means  "Twenty On A Desk"
