< I just picked one of these up with the base station that houses a Seagat
< ST-251 40 meg hard drive with DOS 6.20 installed! Wacky. It also has
< 5.25" floppy drive vertically oriented next to the CRT.

The disk box was an afterthought. It was mostly for modems and other add
ons. Their big feature was a LANCE chip for eithernet running PCSA (later
called pathworks) networking to vaxen via decnet/lat protocals.

< Its a very nice 286 machine, but what a pitiful computer considering it
< came from DEC.
 
Since it's primarly aim was a diskless dos workstation off of vaxen and
dec was still trying to sort out if they were committed to PCs at all it
was a rather interesting machine.
