the VLC's motherboard is small enough for a future project: VAX laptop!
all that's really needed is to build a small power supply, to run from 
battery, make some cabling to hook up a 2.5" SCSI drive, and make a VT220 
clone with an LCD display and a salvaged laptop keyboard for input, and wire
it to the console line of the vlc board.. make a sufficiently cool enclosure
from aluminum sheet, do the metalwork for the hinges and the mounting of
external orifices, etc, and youve got a VAX for the road! 8-)
