A company i worked for bought a small healthcare "utilization review" company in
the @1983 and they had 5 pc's with just that configuration with contractor written
software. We replaced it with a Microvax II.

I can see a few special purpose computers. But I can't imagine a use case for having

You put one into each of five computers, then you arrange them in a pentagram, with ten
null-modem cables.
Then you write software to make your net work.
Or summon the dark overlord.
