and have a sort of 'matched set'. I am a bit
sadder and wiser now that
I have discovered that the MicroVAX is missing a rather large daughter
board that resides beneath the motherboard in the VAXStation, and
apparently carries the HDC and SCSI controller hardware.
?????? the only difference between the MV2000 and the VS2000 is NOTHING!
Both 90% of the hardware is all on one board. The common boards
plugged into that card are the extended memory, a Network card and
a Video extension to the (additional bit planes for color).
The HDC and SCSI(for tapes opnly) is on the main board! look for the NCR
5380 and SMC 9224 40 pin chips.
