 Yes.  I have it, but have yet to get the ROMs in
the right sockets. 
 I went through what seemed like ten thousand MVAX2k pages and not a single
 mention of any such thing ever being implemented. This list is truly useful. 
I think I learned about it through this list, but I could be mistaken.

  Yep, but then comes PSU, and a proper case. I could
scrounge together a hard
 drive, keyboard and a mouse, could steal a monitor and its cable (assuming
 compatibility). 
If you want to use it as VAXstation, yes, you need all of those.  If you
want to use it as a MicroVAX, you wouldn't need the mouse/keyboard/cable.
  Is there always a dormant graphics adaptor on the
board,
 regardless of whether it's an MVAX or a VS2000, or would that have to be
 added, like ethernet? 
There is a default frame buffer.  I have never used it so I don't know
its resolution, scan-rate, etc.  It is active when the jumper says to be
a VAXstation, and not active when the jumper says to be a MicroVAX.
