Yup, and quite diverse. You have the 4000 models 60 and 90 which are very 
powerful VAX workstations in "pizzabox" cabinets with integrated Ethernet 
and SCSI. Then there's the 4000 model 100 (and later 150) which is the 
"low-end" 4000 server in a "3100-like" tall "pizzabox" cabinet with 
integrated Ethernet, SCSI and DSSI. The high-end is/was the models 300 to 
700 (or 800?) in larger "3400-like" cabinets with QBUS backplanes, 
integrated Ethernet and dual DSSI buses. Again, AFAIK all these machines 
have in common is the 4000 series (name?) CPU.
