A coworker put a MicroVaxII in a vt103 with 4 serial lines.
He had fun telling people the VT WAS the   Vax,   not a terminal.

   This is probably a better idea, but it will likely need some
beefing-up of the power supply.   The power supply in a VT103 is a bit
underpowered for bigger hardware.   It can be done, though.
