He doesn't know what he's talking about.
If the case says VAXanything or MicroVAX it's VAX. If it's an Alpha
it would say Alphamumble. Systems with the DECmumble are MIPS.
It's KA640 serie vax with a VUP of 2.4.

I found the page at lunch today, and was left wondering, does it even have
any disks? According to the FAQ it should have DSSI disks, and based on
the pictures on the ebay page, I suspect they were external disks. Which
tells me that he's trying to sell a non-SCSI VAX without disks for over
$160.00, the bid is at $157.50, and the reserve hasn't been met.
