------- The VAXstation 3100 is an NCR 5380 asynchronous only SCSI based system. It may work but your disk would most likely have to "trick" the system into thinking it is a DEC disk. Now on the DECstation 3100 (supports either synchronous or asynchronous devices) I don't think you would have this problem. I posted an article in this notesfile several days ago that describes the DECstation 3100 and how to add 3rd party disks to that system. The above assumes Ultrix as the OS. I don't know what VMS does on the VAXstation 3100. --- Ricky Palmer Ultrix Advanced Development --- Digital Equipment Corporation --- Nashua, New Hampshire
