The only reason I can think of for a 4GB limit being

is that at the time that the MicroVAX 3100-30/40 were
released the RZ29 (4GB drivce) was the largest supplied
by DEC. So it's possible that they never qualified anything
else (and the largest I know of DEC releasing was the 9GB
RZ1D or some such).
Correct, I run them with various 9GB drives, and have no
problems
with them. Of course, the *operating system* may also impose disk
size limits, and/or partition limits. Worst case, one will have
to partition a large drive into several smaller ones to make full
use of that drive.
