Yep...
One of my favorite non-standard systems was a GT40 (11/05 with VT11
built in and VR14 display for graphics) which had a unibus-out cable
which ran to a bay of *three* corporate tall cabs full of devices.
It worked, but FS disn't want to touch it.
We had that in the RT-11 'Cave' in the Mill (on ML5-5)
