Oh yeah. Forgot to mention.

The VAXstation 8000s that I dealt with had the following equipment
in them:

- VAX 8200 processor board.
- Memory.
- Combined Ethernet and TK50 interface.
- Disk controller for MFM drives and floppies. The floppy was connected
  to this controller instead of the console port on the processor.
- KA800. This was used to interface to the E&S hardware.

One of the two machines we had came with the backplane for the E&S
graphics hardware, but did not include the hardware itself.
