NOW, there's one thing i'd like to try!!
we have at least three LSI-.11 lying around (vt103), with those small
tapes and all.. and a BA123 mvII with 9 megs, net & disks alreadu running
netbsd. What if I could build external power and a watercooling
system - then I could fit the mvII in one of them :-) would be *the*
coolest puter in teh club :-)
a desktop vax !
