What I was told when I did this was that drives bigger than 1gb won't work
properly due to firmware limitations. I chose a 1gb IBM drive (if memory
serves) and loaded the latest version of VMS from the hobbiest CD, which is
much less picky about drive firmware than previous versions. It works fine.
I just got my VS3100 and it has no drive (I expected that). It has a part
number of PM20A-AB. It has ~16M of RAM, a Video ram sim and nothing else.
What do I have? What RAM can this beast take? How large a drive can it take?
The only other marking are BA42A and CPU KN01.
Thanks
PS
This beast will be the drives for my Microvax ii until I get an IDE
card in it.
