The SCSI in the 3100's is indeed ANSI SCSI. Your DEC rep is giving you a load
of bull. Owners of 3100's out there are putting normal SCSI drives in
their machines. Note that some of the older SCSI drives may not work, but
certainly if you go to CDC (Imprisis) or Maxtor, the drives should work fine.
Also note that DEC did not make the RZ series drives, they are from other
manufacturers, so if you were to get ahold of the same drive from the OEM,
then you would even have drives which match the same DEC drive #'s. It
is my understanding that the VAXstation-3100 under VMS will only support the
RZ drive types because of the VMS driver (to be fixed in the next release of
VMS??).
