Yeah, but....

The VAXstation SCSI is a daughter card. VAXstations were sold
without it as well. The x-terminal version was just a different
ROM that decides to boot off a different kernel. If you want to,
you can get the VAX version to boot into the same X software.

The SS5 SCSI is on the motherboard. Making a different version
of the motherboard seems odd.
