Very interesting. I was wondering if anyone here has something like an

The Purdue Dual-VAX, not a VAX-11/782. Also, not a special one-off
machine, as dozens if not a hundred were made, most assembled by Mike
Marsh. Also, it was created before the VAX-11/782 was offered, and was
a much more sane system design that gave more speed for less $$$ than
an 11/782.
I have a copy of the paper written by Mike Marsh and George Goble on my
website:
http://computer-refuge.org/classiccmp/dp_vax/dual-vax11-780.pdf Would something like a Purdue Dual VAX count?
Just out of curiosity, are you referring to a VAX-11/782? It was
listed on the pricelist, in SPDs, and in the UNIBUS VAX handbooks,
and consisted of a pair of 11/780's with a shared-memory
interconnect. Or a special one-off machine created at Purdue?
