Actually, I've given the VS3100/M30 here quite a pounding with the 1.4.1
miniroot.fs we're planning to release. I've been using it to install the
sets from a sysinst floppy image to a SCSI Zip drive. There could be some
issues with VS3100/M30 ROM versions. The bootable floppy I used in my
M30's MFM RX23 drive was created using a SCSI 1.44 drive in my M38. I've
not tried creating one in a PC drive or Sparc drive (big-endian).
The show ver command on my VS3100/M30 reports:
>>> show ver
KA42-A V1.1C6-17A-V6.2-262
PST: 17A
CON: 1C6
VMB: V6.2
ROM: 262
