Oh man ha ha so we are going to do amazing things with 64kb. Like

sound like a good first project for something like this. ...we do
have 64kb available right?   :)

Yes. We do have 64K. However, for many machines, that needs to hold both code and data...
(For some, you can have 64K code and 64K data.)

    There are very few PDP-11s that won't kick the living snot out of a
Commodore 64, FYI.

:-)

    But using FORTRAN, we could potentially use overlays and such.

Well, overlays do not depend on FORTRAN, you can use that no matter what language you choose.
