   SNR 0103-72.6 is the only "old SNR" in the Small Magellanic Cloud
   that has enough X-ray brightness for detaied spectral studies with
   ASCA. This SNR allows us to understand the relation between the SNR
   evolution and a wind blown bubble (DEM 125), and the connection
   between the SNR evolution and the host galaxy. It also provides us
   with reliable data for the SMC chemical abundances and the clues to
   solve the complex spectrum of the "young SNR" 0102-72.3 observed in
   the PV phase.
