Yes, I do...
I believe what you are saying is probably true.... The diagnostic floppies
that I found with these, one set in the Vaxstation I user guide, still
shrinkwrapped, were labeled Microvax.

So, I found three VAXSTATION 1's, and I can
find little about them...
Other
than the one-liner that Wikipedia has about them.
Does anyone have any
more specs on these?

Do you have physical access to the systems to inspect them? A MicroVAX
I consisted of an M7135 Data Path Module and an M7136 Memory
Controller Module, which made up the KD32 CPU, mounted in a BA23
chassis. The memory was regular Q22 bus memory, such as M8067 MSV11-P
modules. The disk controller at the time was an M8639 RQDX1 module.

I assume a VAXstation I would be the same as a MicroVAX I except with
the addition of an M7602 VCB01 / QVSS module plus monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
