    Assuming that's so, what about the port? 
 The cabling is all 50 pin inside. Well, except where the breakouts connects
 to the boards. Open the case and put a cdrom drive on there. Install what
 you want. Then take it off and close it back up.  
 I initially went that route and attached a bare SCSI CD-ROM to the
 internal 50-pin cable just long enough to install VMS from a CD.

 Eventually I bought one of these so I could use external SCSI devices: 
I think I'd rather go that way. Will it work with an Apple external CD-ROM?
(The CD-ROM works great with my SGI Indy, so I imagine it does; and this
site implies so also: http://sites.inka.de/pcde/dec-cdrom-list.txt )

Thanks for the link.
