 The '''VAXstation II''' was a follow-on early [[VAX]] [[workstation]]. It uses a special bus carried on [[over the back]] connectors as well as the [[CD interconnect]] as its [[main memory]] bus (the [[address space]] of the [[QBUS]] was limited to 4MB, and the data section is only 16 bits wide); and the QBUS only for its [[input/output|I/O]] [[bus]]. Its [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]] was the [[MicroVAX II]]; the [[VCB01 Video Controller]] provided its [[bit-mapped display]].

+Further development led to the '''VAXstation II/GPX''', which used the same CPU, but the newer [[VCB02 Video Controller]], which allowed for color and offloaded the CPU from graphics processing.
