I am not exactly sure of what is inside the case.  It is very similar to
the VS3100 machine internally, but it has a two-level high 5-drive bay,
with the ram board as the VS3100 (I think), but the scsi controller is
a bit different (don't remember exactly how).   I was thinking the
10 series was the single high case, and the 20 the double high case
and the 30 was in the same double-high case?  Maybe what I have is the
20 series.  I will check for board/case numbers tonight.  Should I be hoping
it is actually a 20 rather than a 30?

Let me get the board numbers, tonight, so I know exactly which it is.
What the heck, it won't nuke anything to write/try a boot tape while
I am at it....(:+}}...

If it is a 30, how is the 30 different from the 20, so I can understand
what the diffs are?

Thanks
