Something that comes to my mind, what chassis were available for the MicroVAX I? I?m far
more familiar with the MicroVAX II. While traditionally I?ve preferred the BA123 chassis,
I?m rather partial to the BA23?s these days, as they take up about half the space.
Good point on the monitor question, I was trying to figure out how/why a MicroVAX I would
have two monitors. Two terminals makes perfect sense.

My mother is moving and her spouse has a MicroVax
I he bought new back in 1984 for some crazy amount. I don?t see this model listed in your
chart? Can you tell me if there is any value to this machine? He also has two original
monitors.

Could be quite interesting to this community depending on how it has been stored since
1984 and is it complete and functional. Don't have any expectations for hard disks to
work. What models are the monitors? VT100's? Do you have the keyboards? Any
software?
It is an antique and the condition, along with what's inside of the box determine how
much interest there will be.
As far as Vax and MicroVax systems the MicroVax I was probably the slowest of them all,
and least capable. Their selling point was that they didn't need an entire room, it
could be placed in a normal office environment.
