I caught from a
FAQ is that SCSI MicroVAXen don't like disks over 1.07Gb -
too many blocks to keep track of with a 21-bit pointer. Fortunately, I have
a couple of old DEC 3105's I can pull off of an Amiga. Quite the disks in
their day, but discards now.
Actually, that's not quite right. Plus I think the 3100/90 is likely to be
new enough that this isn't a problem. Most 3100's can't have a boot disk
that is over 1.07GB. The data disks can be over that. Some of the later
3100's don't have this limitation, IIRC.
I *think* the microvax 3100s can get a console firmware update to allow bigger
disks. Vaxstations can't.
