The machine
has two scsi buses or ar least two SCSI connectors back,
one large and another of lightly minor size.
I cannot think of *any* MicroVAX or VAXstation that
has two SCSI connectors of *different* sizes.

No, that does not soud correct.
The external SCSI-Connector (if you have one) on a MV3100 is a rather
small, 68-PIN-HD-like connector, comparable to modern SCSI-III
connectors.
You might have one of those serial multiport cards..
You're TK50 is the "right" one, though...

The other one is, seeing the CPU in its back, at
the LEFT, covered by one semiespheric cover.
This is a "short" Centronics connector.
I have the TK50 connected actually to the large
Centronics connector because is the same than
the manufactured with the TK50. But this don't work,
at least by now. I have no cable to connect the
TK50Z-GA to the short Centronics connector.
The central unit only put "Microvax 3100" in the front.
Is a desktop, not a tower.
Thanks and Greetings

People disagree with me. I just ignore them.

Just my 2p's worth, but, my MV3100/m10e has a 50 pin centronics SCSI
connector - it's hooked into the scsi bus, I can see that by looking at it
- the cable connecting it has my 2nd internal HDD attached :&)
I also have the serial port option, which is a 37pin centronics.
(Oh, what's the 50 pin HD-DB type connector? line-printer?)

So, i've learned something today 8-)
All my 3100's (ok, i have only 3) have that crappy small 68pin connector
that wants this special cable that costs an arm and a leg.
The 50pin has 3 rows, right? Then it's the "B1 Synchronous Port 1",
whatever this may be...
