How fast people forget. There was both the VAXstation I and the 
VAXstation II. Same machines as the MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II, but with 
a graphics subsystem. Yes, Q-bus, yes, RQDX3, yes, RD54 and RX50, or 
RD54 and TK50. All in a BA23.

They might have come with RD53 as well, but you get they idea...
