MicroVAX III personal computer VAX?

While VAXstations were VAX computers "for use by a single person at a time", MicroVAX computers certainly were NOT intended to be used that way, although that was of course possible. DEC used to call the typical usage scenario "Workgroup" or "Small Department". Vaxorcist (talk) 21:58, 1 October 2022 (CEST)

So, fix the article! :-) (I cheerfully admit I didn't understand the difference in intended use between VAXstations and MicroVAXen- I'm not a VAX expert!) Jnc (talk) 01:10, 2 October 2022 (CEST)

MicroVAX III = disambiguation page?

The term "MicroVAX III" is the generic name of the MicroVAX 3200/3500/3600 computers, because all share the same KA650 CPU, which is the the successor of the KA630 MicroVAX II. This led to the (rarely) used name of MicroVAX III".

A single source says that a "MicroVAX III" is a "MicroVAX II" updated with a KA650 and an MS650. Vaxorcist (talk) 22:43, 28 March 2023 (CEST)
