Back in the day there was something called a microvax

was a micropdp - it was a tall slim thing. Might google that.
The MicroPDP11 was
in more or less the same form factor as the MicroVAX
I and II (also marketed as VaxStation I and II). It was also known as
something like the PDP 11/73. A lower-end version was the Digital PRO
350 and 360.
I don't know if any of these ran Unix or not, but you might look into
them. A few years ago, the PROs were really cheap and used about the
same power as a PC from 1985.
