The VAXstation 100 was a graphics terminal manufactured by DEC. It is based on a Motorola 68000 and attaches to a VAX host through Unibus.

The VAXstation 100 is of some historical note due to its role in the development of the X Window System. Babara Liskov's CLU group had acquired a number of VAXstation 100 terminals and needed a windowing system running on Berkeley Unix. Initially W was used, but Bob Scheifler largely rewrote it to become X.
