The SCSI connector on the back tends to be flaky on the MicroVAX 3100s?
Hmmm...that knowledge will save me a lot of frustration. Thanks... :-)

Well, since the concensus seems to be that
I'll need to get a CD-drive for
this thing, I guess I'll start looking.
Remember it needs to be one that supports 512-byte blocks, instead of the
standard 2048-byte. If it's Sun-Bootable, it should work just fine. Since
I suspect you've got a wacky SCSI connector on the back of that machine
you'll probably want to pop the hood and plug the CD-ROM at least
temporarily into the internal cable.
I did sign up for a DECUS membership a few days
ago...never heard anything
back from them, so I'll wait a few days and resubmit my signup if nothing
materializes from them.
I've heard people have been having trouble, it might actually take a phone
call from what I've heard. BTW, my membership had expired over a year ago,
and I was still using my ID to get hobbyist PAK's.
