Notes

• The frame-buffer card was missing in most of the pictures.
• This VAXstation was missing all of it's hard-drive holders when I got it. I reused a hard-drive bracket from a PC case to hold my 2 drives inside the unit. Normally, a complete case contains drive holder for 2 half-height SCSI-2 hard-drive and 1 full-height SCSI-2 device with possible external access.
