The PC500 seems to be a display with a 5.25 inch
floppy drive and some
electronics. It is mounted on top of the RCD31 unit which is in a pizza
box style case. Is this some sort of PC clone or maybe a DecMate?
No, I suspect it's a VAXmate. The VAXmate is a 286 PC clone with some
special DECness (Ethernet, included software to do DECnet).

PS: Rumor has it that the VAXstation 2000 folks were really pissed that
the name 'VAXmate' was already taken...
