I am contemplating purchasing a DCJ11-AC chip set from DEC.  This
is the chip set that is the heart of the various KDJ11 cpu cards,
such as the 11/53, 11/73, 11/83, and 11/84.  I would like to build
my own Q-bus cpu card around the chip set.  The card would probably
be quite simple: no cache, no floating-point accelerator, no boot
ROM, and no serial lines.

Has anyone else undertaken a project like this?  I have ordered a
copy of the DCJ11 Microprocessor User's Guide, but I would like to
hear about anyone's hands-on experiences.  When I pay $473.00 for a
chip, I don't want to blow it away on the first power-up.

Thanks,
Bill
