Hi Tim!

Sounds like I might have one too. Is this vaxstation case very
similar to a XL size pizza box with bit thicker to take the one HH
scsi hd and no floppy? What I have is 3 motherboards, if you wish,
ask for more info to ID these bare boards but still have ROMs on it
and pretty complete because I forgot what model it was! (slapping
myself. :) )

Thanks!

Jason D.

Big juicy snip!

Sounds very similar to what I have here...
