The 3/50 was indeed a "pizza box" according to this, but Brad Spencer's
images 7A and 7B he purports these are 3/50 boards:

form-factor. Although, it's possible it uses only that "custom/private"
third connector on the VME backplane?

My understanding is that the 3/50 is indeed some sort of VME system, as
is the 4/110, with some address related oddities. But it has been a
very long time since I booted a 3/50 up... The 3/50 I have are in their
cases, I just opened them up for the pictures.
What is not a VME system was the 3/80, which I also have.
