Our largest Unibus machine was an 11/750
(though we had an VAX 8300 w/DWBUA, and an NMI-based VAX 8530 as our
largest machine, both purchased for supporting our VAXBI product
line).   I kept the 8300 and the 11/750 when the company closed down.
Had to leave the 8530 behind.

The 8300 is a single 42" rack with a BA32 (the size of an 11/730) and
a 42" rack for disks and the Unibux BA-11.  The VAX 8530 was much
larger and 3-phase.
