The MicroVAX 3500 and MicroVAX 3600 are variants of the VAXserver 3500/3600. The MicroVAX 3500 and 3600 are very similar. The difference between the 3500 and 3600 is the placement of the systems: the 3500 uses the BA213 enclosure, whereas the 3600 uses the bare BA213 chassis housed in the H9644 cabinet with a similar, but modified door. Both models have the same a 12-slot backplane.
They used the KA650 CPU; main memory used the KA650 Main Memory System, using a special bus carried on over the back connectors as well as the CD interconnect of the QBUS backplane. The QBUS was used only for I/O.
Documentation error
The MicroVAX 3600 VAXserver 3600/3602 Technical Information manual says that both the 3500 and 3600 used the BA213 enclosure. (The MicroVAX 3600 VAXserver 3600/3602 Operation manual says that the 3600 is in the H9644 cabinet.)
