I note that the connector on the Exabyte box is 50-pin D style, while the
DEC wire that goes from a VS3100 SCSI port to an external box (e.g. an
rz55) isn't.  Is this the same SCSI bus?  (This Exabyte drive plugs right
into a Sun SCSI port.)  Can a VS3100 adapter be made?  What do I tell my
Ultrix 3.1 kernel config file so that I can access this drive?  Will
DEC come out with a high-density tape subsystem of it own this year?
