Mine did not work on the MicroVAX 3100/10 I have.  I did not get
time to set up a VS3100/M38 to test it on, but I can do that tonight.

The MV3100 booted, and seemed to set up the disks, then load the miniroot,
but it would not boot the miniroot off swap.

Is there something different lately in the MV3100 machines that would
make it crash?

I installed Ultrix behind it, as a test, and it installed fine from
the CD.

Dunno exactly why the MV3100 died.

Are there timing issues in the scsi code that might affect some
machines?

I have a pair of VS3100/M38's, and a VS3100/M10? and a MV3100/M10.
The last thing I have up on them is 1.4S.  I tried the 1.4Y cd
with the above mentioned problems.

Dunno exactly what the problem is, yet...
