Yes.
I was with them in late 80's
They always looked to IBM as the rival and thought mainframe as the market.
Spent all development on VAX and clustering, to give more cost effective mainframe like solutions.
Had no idea of consumer products even when Wang were working on word processors.

> The road to ruin leads through insanely great revenue and profits. IBM and Xerox once rode high on that cloud.
In the 70's, the company in the best position to become the 800-pound gorilla of the home computer industry was DEC — Digital Equipment Corporation.
It was the world's second-largest in the computer industry in the late-1980s, with $11.5 billion in revenues, 121,000 employees.
Today most people with home computers have never heard of them.
