I have found two conflicting sources for when this
machine was introduced.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroVAX) it was April
1994. The source of this information appears to be this article:
http://www.cbronline.com/archive/?SearchTerms=MicroVAX+3100+95
However, the following HP article
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/20th/vmsbook.pdf on p60 (bottom right)
suggests it is September 1992.
Both sources would appear to be pretty reliable, but they can't both be
right. Does anyone have any suggestion how I might determine which is the
more accurate?

1992 is more correct. My source is a old 1995 document on microvax
model performace.
My other source MicroVAX/VAXstation Systems Text FAQ 1996 also says that.
Wikipedia is only randomly accurate.
I have a very old archive and my VAXen are from that era. I know for a
fact personally
that the /95 was available before the Palmer corporate bleed of '93 When
I left DEC.
