The first machine I opened (3100/76 SPX) does have all the SCSI stuff
onboard.
The second box (3100/38 with graphics and flopp) does have a SCSI
daugher board, but it's quite different to

board: http://lug-owl.de/~jbglaw/VAXstation_3100m38_scsi_board.jpeg
There are, I think, two more MicroVAX 3100 systems down there, which
I didn't yet dismantle. Though the could have a matching board... Will
check these tomorrow.
