I don't wish to question authority, as it were, but the internal
cables are 104 pin (If I'm counting them correctly) and the external
SCSI port on the back is 72-pin mini-D. That *looks* like wide SCSI to
me! If it's not, then what kind of cabling is it? The ordinary
narrow-SCSI stuff I knew from back in the '80s and '90s was 50-way
ribbon cables with 50-pin IDC connectors internally and either 50-pin
Centronics or D25 connectors externally.
It's 8-bit 10MHz. :) Those machines were designed before the
"standard" SCSI connectors were standardized.

I have a VAXstation 3100 model 38 I bought on eBay for
the princely
sum of ?0.99. Sadly it came without disks and I have no wide-SCSI
disks of <1GB.
That machine doesn't have wide SCSI. It's 8-bit ("narrow") 10MHz.
