Sounds like you need to define BYTESWAPPED and recompile everything on your
3100.  I had the same problem when I brought CAP up on my 3100, with it
only seeing some things in a zone.

It appears that even though a MIPS machine is usually big endian, DEC has
configured it to be little endian, like the rest of the VAXs.  The CAP
Configuration script doesn't know this.
