SCSI on VS3100 is go (but really really slow).  I spent the past two weeks
testing out PIO SCSI on older VAXstations.  I can vouch for usable support
on the VAXstation 3100/M30,M38,M76, the VAXserver 3100, and the VAXstation
2000.  I believe it should work for the MicroVAX 3100/10,20,10e,20e as
well.

On the M76 I can get about 90KB/s I/O, the VS2000 around 30KB/s, and the
others around 65-75KB/s.
