The '''MicroVAX 3300/3400''' systems both use the [[KA640 CPU]]; they apparently differed in using a [[BA215]] enclosure, with a 6-slot [[QBUS]] [[backplane]], for the former, and a [[BA213]] enclosure, with a 12-slot backplane, for the latter. Both provided a [[Digital Storage Systems Interconnect|DSSI]] bus for [[mass storage]].

The MicroVAX 3300/3400 systems both use the KA640 CPU; they apparently differed in using a BA215 enclosure, with a 6-slot QBUS backplane, for the former, and a BA213 enclosure, with a 12-slot backplane, for the latter. Both provided a DSSI bus for mass storage.
