Yes. It's lousy';-))

This pizzabox is/was a VaxStation 4000/vlc

Should be 2 MByte total, because the option should have a resolution of
1280x1024x8

You got it right, that's th graphics/audio option for the 4000/vlc
To be completely sure, check the PCB near the VRAMs. You should see some of
the famous DEC product numnbers like 5420772 or 50-20771 ...
> I do have 3 boards of these.
Lucky ;-)) I you want to get rid of one of these ...
I have a vlc here with a broken video card :-((
> Would be fun if I can use it with spare HD and ram, etc...
You can use it in the 4000/vlc. Running VMS or NetBSD ;-))
> if anyone knows where to find docs for this board for info.
Try digital.com But there was only a three page description of the box,
somewhere in obsolete/historical stuff ...
