Not all of them. The 82xx/83xx family was just one 10-1/2" chassis
for
the CPU - the same physical size as a 11/730,
yet they were genuine single
or dual CPU BI bus VAXen. Of course, many of their brothers were quite a
bit bigger.
And don't forget the VAXstation-8000...
Right. But I did say "some". :-)
Think 8978 for example...
I'd say that the 8000 series (besides the 11/7x0 series) were the most diverse in size
compared to the 6000, 7000 and 9000 series. As already mentioned, the 82x0 or 83x0 fit
into a small half-height cabinet. The 85x0 has the size of a 6000 or 7000 series vax, if I
remember well. The 8800 series were housed in very large cabients, larger than the 6000
and 7000 series cabinets.
