Motorola's VME/10 workstation with VME card cage has already been described
by Karl Danz of Cygnet.  It may be of interest that a MVME121 MPU board-based
system was demonstrated last November at Munich, Germany's Electronika '84
running System V Release 2.  The '121 is 68010/68451-based like the VME/10,
but system surrounding the '121 used standard memory, disk, and serial cards
in a rack-mount chassis.  While the VME/10 with Unix is supported now,
the '121 is yet to be released.

To avoid being too parochia I will mention that Force and Mostek advertise
VME systems with Unix.  Also, the most recent issue of Digital Design says
the Sun 2/150 has provisions for VME after-market boards, but this needs
confirming.
