Yes.

So, you don't want a reference MIPS then?

I would love a working VAX 11/780 and also PDP-11, 8 etc. However, cost and
space are limits I have to live with.

I do have a Falcon 11+ board, which is basically a small PDP-11 with 2 serial
ports, a parallel port and a chassi into which one can stick boards. I know
too little to get this one running.

Cheers,
