VAXstation 3100 history (Was ... different) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

    And speaking of TK50, for the record, the external
SCSI version is a
TK50Z-FA (approved for the VAXstation/MicroVAX 2000) or a TK50Z-GA
(newer firmware, external SCSI ID switch).  I tried a -FA on a VAX 4200
with a KZQSA SCSI board long ago, and I use one on my VAXsta 3138 now,
and have never had a problem.  Has anyone actually had a problem using a
-FA in a modern environment?  (That's "modern" compared to a 2000, of
course.) 
I had difficulty with the MicroVAX 2000 version of the TK50 when I used
it on a Firefox. When using the tape, the disks would all go into mount
verify. I assumed that the problem was the tape drive didn't know about
disconnect, but I never verified this.
