A uVAX II is a LSI-chip version of the famous DEC VAX-system architecture
And not a PC or anything like a PC!!!!
It is Q-BUS based and resides in a BA23 or BA123 enclosure
There are many versions of microVAXEN or VAX-stations/servers
The contempory PC has a lot architectural features that where first
developed on the VAX-platform. VAX-systems were PDP11 ofspring
and go back to the end of the 70's. The uVAX II was introduced in 1985

Or soak in some of the more esoteric stuff on this list .......

It's a rather standard i486/25 with 4Mb RAM and
integrated VGA. Nothing
special at all really, I bought it as a cheap server and because of the DEC
link but now as it's been replaced it's free to anyone. One caveat - i'm in
the UK...

Hello All!
I am wondering what the power requirements of a fairly standard uVAX-II in
a
BA123 case would be, what kind of hookup it needs, voltage and power
requirements...
also, for the DIGITAL fanatics i've got an old DECpc sitting here if
anyone
wants it to complete collections..... no? thought not, just couldn't
resist
asking!
