We are considering the purchase of either a MicroVax 3100/90 or
a VAX 4000/100. They are both rated at 24VUP and have a max memory of
128 MB, the major difference that I can see is the addition of one 
DSSI to the VAX 4000/100. The problem we have with the 3100/90 is that
I cannot hang enough disk on it for our needs, along with the tape and 
cd-rom we also need.

The 4000/100 claims to be able to address 28Gb
of disk storage, with the rf73's (2Gb drive) that would only give you
14Gb. It has a SCSI for internal tape and cd-rom, so my question is 
how do we get the extra disk on the unit??   Is the SCSI available
outside the box? Do I need to get the optional q-bus? One article I
read indicated that the max disk was based on having a KFQSA in
addition, what does all this mean???

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have an answer to these few
questions as so far I have not been able to get an answer from my
local sales force..
