Is it possible to use an RRD40 on a MicroVAX 3100 model 80?

I realize I can connect it to the SCSI port on the back, but I'm
unsure whether I need to worry about synchronous vs asynchronous
transfers and SCSI-2 vs earlier implementations.

Is the RRD40 SCSI-2 compatible?

Does using an asynchronous device on the same bus as the synchronous
disks cause any problems , performance or otherwise?
