	They vary from the VS2000 (which is a uVaxII wrapped around a
	full height 5 1/4 inch drive - looks like a fat sun IPC), up
	thorugh the VS3100s (between a SS10 and Ultra/1 in size),
	the uVaxII (large PC tower size in its smallest BA23 case), before
	you even hit medium sized vaxes :)

	The BA23 uVaxII is the smallest Qbus machine, and I have one
	spare. It will _definitely_ cost more to ship than it would cost
	to buy if you could find one locally, but... hey, a VAX's worth
	is not measured in dollars, pounds or francs, but in kgs and btus
