Except that the MEM11 wasn't around in 1972.
I think the point here, is that much of the hardware that is necessary
to run Unix V1 on an

I don't think you are running Unix V1 on 11/20 hardware here. An 11/20 CPU,
sure, but a computer system is not just the CPU.

Remaking the missing hardware following the original designs and using

close to the original is one thing. A functional emulator is something quite
different.
The 11/20 in 1972 did not (AFAIK) use any programmable logic chips, for example.
Do let me know when you've got a production line going for a new RS11.
Until then, I suppose the MEM11 will have to do...
