Well, my m38 actually has an lk201, hockey-puck mouse, and 20"
color monitor.

I do have a DEC 17" or so mono monitor, and now plenty of extra
lk201s and hockey-puck mice.

My first working VAX was a 2000, which now has just about every
VAXStation 2000 accessory that you could want except the color
KVM breakout and a monitor ;) (Yes, it does have the color option,
as well as the external second RD54, and external TK50) I think
the only thing missing is the external floppy (I only surmise that
this exists, and may be what plugs into that other port on the
expansion box -- could be wrong), and a decent memory board. It
would be nice to put an 8M, 12M, etc, board in it.

At any rate, this impressive stack of peripherals makes that
VAXStation 2000 about the same size as any other MicroVAX, except
that it comes apart rather than having wheels.

Also worth mentioning is that it's one of what I assume was an
older series of VAXStation 2000s with no AUI on the back (co-ax
only).
