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.. nick pikarsky pikarsky@maniac.med.miami.edu
