I have overloaded them with the disks I have put in, so whether they could
cope with these disks is a bit unclear. I know the VLC PSUs are supposed to
be quite weedy and I don't have the skill to fix them myself. They just keep
clicking the power on and off about once a second.
I have not sent the adapters you mention, what should I be searching for?

I would be interested in any 50-pin SCSI disks,
especially any that
are 1.09
GB or less (can't remember the exact figure for sure but thereabouts)
Would this be for a VAXstation 3100 or early MicroVAX 3100? If so
the magic figure is 1.073GB. I've used 50-68&80 adapters on VAXes
with no problem.
and
any larger 50-pin SCSI disk that are no more than one inch in height.
VAXstation 4000 VLC? The adapters I used only just fit in there - room
is indeed very tight!
