Good point. SBI would make much more since in there. But this also 
becomes a question of what kind of buses are we interested in. The I/O 
buses, or the CPU buses, or something else? Unibus was always just an 
I/O bus for the VAX. Should we then also mention Massbus? How about CI?
And on some of the 8000 machines, the CPU sat on a bus called NMI, on 
which you then had the VAXBI adapters.

I honestly don't have a good idea of what defines a "large" VAX. Buses 
feels unsuitable. Power connector maybe? :-)
