The only reason this would not have managed to get up to
64MB would have been the lack of suitable slots in the backplane.
Indeed. I've acquired two of them, and they're the only QBUS VAXen I've
seen come through Purdue's surplus op. I've managed to collect a
MV3400 (in a VAX 4000/200 case) and a VS3520 (the multiprocessor
"weird" VAX). I love the fact that you can put more than 2 memory
cards in those big cases. :)
