I can't help but wonder how old you are since you know about UCSD-Pascal, where I first learned programming, on a Terak which was a PDP-11 on a chip. Brings back fond memories of 8 inch floppies.
Makes me wonder if anyone else around here ever used a WD-900 Pascal MicroEngine chipset based computer. A neat idea that used a Western Digital microprocessor that executed USCD Pascal p-code as it's native language. One company I did some work for purchased 3 of WD-90s (computer based around that chipset) and we had fun (for certain values of fun ) getting them to work.

That same chipset with different microcode chips, sold as the MCP-1600, was the basis for PDP's LSI-11 computer.

Ahhh... the good old days of microcomputing.
