I love it!

I wonder now, what's the smallest device you can make that runs PDP 11? You probably only a usb for a keyboard, RF/HDMI out, and a power jack, no?

You probably don’t even need that much!

As long as you don’t mind using modern IO devices, a (emulated) VT100 connected to a UART would be historically accurate. You could even bit-bang the serial port with a couple GPIOs.

Does this means UNIX on arduino?

Yes, though it's one of many options. Here's another PDP-11 emulator for an arduino that's 8 years old: https://github.com/davecheney/avr11
