Hi Tim!
Sounds like I might have one too. Is this vaxstation case very
similar to a XL size pizza box with bit thicker to take the one HH
scsi hd and no floppy? What I have is 3 motherboards, if you wish,
ask for more info to ID these bare boards but still have ROMs on it
and pretty complete because I forgot what model it was! (slapping
myself. :) )
Thanks!

Big juicy snip!
You haven't told us which Vaxstation 3100 you have (there are at least
half a dozen different models), but assuming it's a /20 or a /30 or a /38 the
connectors on the back along the bottom are:
Ethernet AUI
Pushbotton for selecting AUI/Thinnet
Ethernet Thinnet
Pushbutton for reset
Keyboard connector
Mouse connector
Video connector
Two MMJ jacks, labeled for "printer" and "modem"
Small DIP switch for selecting video or serial console (covered up on
some machines)
Status LED's
Sounds very similar to what I have here...
If you're buying 3100's for $200, I've got a pile of about 16 in my
living room... :-) Street price for a 3100/30 with 16 Megs of RAM
is about US$100. Of course, video and/or disk options can substantially
increase the value.
