A lot of the MicroVAXen seem to come in MicroVAX, VAXserver, and VAXstation variants; a complete table that lists them all would be huge. I think we should try and condense it as much as possible. E.g. instead of listing [[VAX 4000 series]], [[VAXserver 4000 series]] and [[VAXstation 4000 series]], we should just have one 'VAX 4000 series' entry, accepting the fact that to get to the 'VAXserver 4000 series' or 'VAXstation 4000 series' will take an extra click.

:Good idea - I agree. There are so many commonalities between the variants of a "VAX family" which would have to be repeated if treated in different places. In some special cases where there are no other variants (e.g. VAXstation 3520/3540 and VAXstation 3820/3840 (not yet included), which have neither VAXserver nor MicroVAX variants), one could mention that in the respective page.

Condense duplicates

A lot of the MicroVAXen seem to come in MicroVAX, VAXserver, and VAXstation variants; a complete table that lists them all would be huge. I think we should try and condense it as much as possible. E.g. instead of listing VAX 4000 series, VAXserver 4000 series and VAXstation 4000 series, we should just have one 'VAX 4000 series' entry, accepting the fact that to get to the 'VAXserver 4000 series' or 'VAXstation 4000 series' will take an extra click.

Good idea - I agree. There are so many commonalities between the variants of a "VAX family" which would have to be repeated if treated in different places. In some special cases where there are no other variants (e.g. VAXstation 3520/3540 and VAXstation 3820/3840 (not yet included), which have neither VAXserver nor MicroVAX variants), one could mention that in the respective page.
