There is one slight problem with the Tadpoles.... The odds of actually
getting one is *VERY* small. The odds of getting an affordable one is even
smaller. Plus the fact that they've got about the horse power of a Multia,
and getting enough RAM in them could be tricky....
One possiblity would be to get a nice PC laptop and load the VAX Emulator
onto it. The other possibility is to take an old PC Laptop and a
VAX 4000/VLC and merge the two into one system connecting them via
Ethernet. I'd planned on doing the second, but the likelyhood of my having
time is rapidly shrinking...
