Here's the difference:

the TK50Z-GA was designed for the 3100. the TK50Z-FA was designed for the
VS2000. There are two differences between the drives: The GA has an
external switch for setting the SCSI ID, but on the FA you have to set
jumpers on the board. And the ROMs are different, but interchangeable
parts-wise. I've just researched this, a TK50 FA with FA and GA ROMS is
enroute to me from a guy at www.keyways.com.

My two cents...
