I know this has been discussed to some extent before, but I
can't find the articles anymore.

I would like to buy a Vaxstation 3100 with the minimum complement
of memory/disk from DEC and add third party products.

If I buy the diskless "Model 30 Diskless Satellite Workstation"
there is no disk controller and I would have to add one.

Do I have to get the minimum amount of disk offered by DEC (52meg RZ22)
and add on from there?  If we get that model, can we swap in someone
elses 104/208/whatever megabyte drive INTERNALLY, or would that require
a different controller?

Does anyone make a drive/controller setup to go inside a diskless VS3100?

As for memory, do they use the "standard" SIMMS that the DECstation 3100 uses?
Are those 1 megabyte or 4 megabyte modules?

What are the current prices for these from non-DEC sources?

Please e-mail me any answers and I'll summarize if there is interest.

Thanks in advance.
