I set up my home MicroVAX in 1986 with just the 1 MB of 
memory on the CPU card, an Andromeda MFM + floppy disk 
controller and the console serial port.  As time and money 
permitted, I kept adding stuff to it (VCB-01 and then a 
VCB-02, mag tapes, SCSI tapes, ESDI disks, then SCSI disks, 
DHV11 and so on.)

I ran it until 2007, although I moved all new software 
development to other systems after the mid 90's.
