vaxstation cdrom questions - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

6 Sep 1999

...
   i have a vaxstation3100, not sure of the model, but
it's rather
large, with exposed drive bays and scsi cables leading to both.  i have
two sun cdroms that i'd like to install in it.  my question stems from
that, how the hell do i mount them in there?  or, if you know they
won't work, warn me now before i waste time with lots of duct tape
installing them. ;>

  this is a little offtopic, but the cdroms and the vaxstation are all
ancient.  any help would be appreciated. 
(Assuming you've got a 3100 Model 40 - i.e. with the "double decker"
drive trays and a 5.25" cutout):

For testing purposes, just remove the escutcheon covering up an unused
bay and set the drive in there.  I'll have to poke around my model 40
and see if I can get you a part number for any mounting hardware
you'll need to install it.
