A uVAX II is a LSI-chip version of the famous DEC VAX-system architecture
And not a PC or anything like a PC!!!!
It is Q-BUS based and resides in a BA23 or BA123 enclosure
There are many versions of microVAXEN or VAX-stations/servers
The contempory PC has a lot architectural features that where first
developed on the VAX-platform. VAX-systems were PDP11 ofspring
and go back to the end of the 70's. The uVAX II was introduced in 1985
