I am curious about this model, anyone have a photograph/picture/scanned
manual for this model?
Are they rare? I have seen only one reference to one being on eBay in 2004.
thanks.

I'll put it this way, I've never heard of one. If they really exist,
they're *RARE*.

Here's a Nemonix manual on how to upgrade one:

Interesting, thanks for finding.
To my surprise HP.COM still has VAX material and I found this page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00328845
and this statement:
"The VAX 4000-50 Brick is a sealed unit which takes up the CPU and Memory
slots in a MicroVAX 3000 series, VAX 4000-200 system, BA215, BA211, BA430 or
BA431 enclosures"
Perhaps the VAXbrick was not a standalone "system" but just a "CPU"
upgrade,
an integrated module (CPU+memory) to go into the model 200 as suggested in
the statement above.

New subject: HP's VAX pages [Was: Re: picture of VAX 4000 Model 50, so-called VAXbrick?]

From time to time I stumble upon pages from HP when I
google after VAX
information. Some pages work, others not. If I search for microvax
on
HP's product page it will list a handfull of results, but mostly the
given links are broken.
Is there way to get an overview of the information available?
Has anybody done mirror?
