So whats the major difference between a VAXStation and a MicroVAX
outside of built in video?
?Nothing. ?In fact, in one model that comes to mind (the MicroVAX-2000 and
VAXstation-2000), whether or not the system identifies itself to the OS as a
MicroVAX or a VAXstation is by a jumper on the motherboard that disables the
framebuffer.
