People have reported success at using anything with a SCSI bus as a
helper machine.  All you need is something to 'dd' the disk image from,
or I believe the DOS rawrite utility also works.  Scan the list archives
for more info (or look at http://www.flame.org/mlist/netbsd if you don't
have the list handy).

I know Kingston sell DEC RAM.  Look for MS01-AA (these are 2MB SIMMs,
and the 3100 takes pairs of them, up to a maximum of 24MB).
