You must be talking of the PDT-11/150 then. The /110 and /130 sat inside
a VT100 shell. Extremely similar to a VT103 (I actually never figured
out what the difference between a VT103 and a PDT-11/130 is.)
I may be grossly misinformed, but my understanding is that although the
/110 and /130 both live inside a VT100, they're *not* like VT103s, and
have no Q-bus but use a custom CPU board just like the /150 (I doubt it's
the exact same board, but a similar design).
I could have sworn the 110/130 manual on bitsavers (which is misfiled
away from the 150 manual -- I forget where) said so but on a quick skim I
can't find it. The I/O hardware has enough programming differences that
it can't be regular Q-bus stuff, although I suppose they could have made
a whole set of PDT-specific boards.
