Yup.   That's why I'm drooling.   I like that idea a lot.



I'm not too interested in that very-vertical-market-sounding
experience.   I just like the idea of a small PDP-11 inside a rather
iconic terminal that I can download arbitrary code into.   It'd be fun.


What I would LOVE is a VT180, basically VT102 + 8080 CPU running CP/M.

I've always been a CP/M fan for some odd reason :)

Come to think of it, I'd probably buy a DEC Rainbow if I came across on
that has three modes I think (VT100/8080/8088)..

The Rainbow is neat.   I had a shot at getting an early DECmate...
