   This is
why I've kept some ST225s behind. I'm pretty sure both VAXmates are
 hard driveless, though I can't really speak for the boxed one as I've never
 really delved in further than below the top foam :)  
 Generally thy are.  Theres a seperate underbox that adds the hard drive
 and controller. 
Ah yes! I remember those now from somewhere like the DECdirect catalogues,
though I never saw them in the field....must've been too expensive for our
customers.

   Yep, the
one I remember using was a PCSA terminal. This was shortly before
 we went through the sheer pain of a PCSA to LANMAN migration with Pathworks
 V5, that's a few weekends of my life I'm not going to get back, heh.  
 It was during my time at DEC and they wer like flies there.  I still
 have kits for PCSAV4 and V5. 
Mostly the same here, I'm a CDDS hoarder, but lost the PCSA floppies I had
many moons ago. 
I have the complete slipcase kits with PAKs, TK50s and floppies (5.25").
However with more modern PC OS (95 on) having DECnet as a networking 
option along with LANman I haven't used it much.  I have the uVAXes!
