--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To supplement what .2 says: The VAXstation 100 was announced in May
    1982, and began shipping in late 1984, only to be cancelled almost
    immediately.
    
    It consisted of a 19" monochrome monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
    electronics, most of which went into a board that plugged into a
    Unibus. To make a workstation in the modern sense, you would have to
    combine the VS100 with a Unibus-based VAX. Yes, there was a 68000
    inside.
    
    The VS100 had software support only under VMS. We donated a large
    number of them to MIT, plugging into a large number of donated 750s.
    Since MIT was running mostly Unix, they were forced to write a new
    windowing system, which evolved into X and DECwindows.
