My 3100 is probably one of the last built (it was obtained via a
complete motherboard swap under DEC warranty in late 1992), and has
7.01 firmware.  It seems to run NetBSD just fine -- indeed, it was
the machine the NetBSD/pmax port was first booted on.

The machine doesn't have its floppy currently installed, but the
pmax floppy is just a SCSI device -- you can in fact connect it
to anything and it acts like a very small removable SCSI disk --
so I don't see what it'd change.  When originally purchased in 1990,
in fact, the machine came with floppy disk, RZ23, RZ24, and TK50.
