The VT103 is pretty cool. Very early, very capable PC, sortof.
It used to have an LSI-11, so not that impressve by default.
However, rewire the backplane for 22-bits, throw in an 11/93, a SCSI 
controller and a disk, and you have something really awesome.

Now, try to figure out the difference between the VT103, and a 
PDT-11/130... :-)
