 I knew a fellow who claimed to have build a MicroVAX II in a VT103. I
 never saw it and don't know the details, but I believed him. He was
 some sort of meta-service guy at DEC (i.e., he got called when the
 normal service guys couldn't figure it out) and I think the machine
 was on the DEC internal network.  IIRC (and I might not), his name was 
 Ozzie Perez and the node name was OZZIE:: 
 Are you sure that wasn't "Ernie"?  That sounds like something my old friend

 and mentor Ernie Perez might have tried. 
Pretty sure it was Ozzie. 
The big problem with putting a MicroVAX in the VT103 is enough slots for 
memory and a disk interface. It's certainly doable and when you consider
some of the plans floated for 11/73s, why not uVAX.
