This thread made me a little curious so I went to eBay and found an 11/44
there:

There's also an FPGA SoC on opencores.com that runs 5th edition UNIX and
2.11 BSD UNIX:

The latter had been a little more than a passing interest for me, but I just
haven't had the time to play with it.

The MicroPDP11 was
in more or less the same form factor as the MicroVAX
I and II (also marketed as VaxStation I and II). It was also known as
something like the PDP 11/73. A lower-end version was the Digital PRO
350 and 360.
I don't know if any of these ran Unix or not, but you might look into
them. A few years ago, the PROs were really cheap and used about the
same power as a PC from 1985.
