+===== MicroVAX, VAXstation and VAXserver 3100 family =====
+One of the last VAX-series, and the naming conventions went crazy: several MicroVAX and VAXstation models have the 3100 number, and sometimes it's not easy to tell them apart. They are microprocessor-based systems with SCSI strorage elements. A MicroVAX 3100 is a multiuser machine, a VAXstation 3100 is a graphical workstation, while the VAXserver is a MicroVAX 3100 with a single-interactive-user OS license (e.g. fileservers). There's also the Infoserver 100 and 150, which are MicroVAX 3100's designed for servicing CDROM's, tapes and disks to network cliens (this is useful for remote booting or OS install over the network).
+The first 3100 was the MicroVAX/VAXstation 3100 Model 10 and Model 20 with the KA440 processor, and with a performance of 3 VUPs.
