Is it possible this model number is a typo? There are Vax 4000's and Vax
4000 model xxx but I've never heard of a VAX4100. If you have physical
access to the machine can you describe what it looks like and what the
model number is stamped on the DEC label?

RF or RZ ? One is DSSI (RF) and the other SCSI (RZ). DSSI are supported
using the KFQSA controller. SCSI are supported via QBUS MSCP type SCSI
controllers and some on-board SCSI controllers on the 31xx series.

That's everything you need to netboot.

Argues for an RZ drive.

The only way to answer this question completely is to identify the CPU
model and the peripherals. If they are qbus based MSCP peripherals they are
supported but if they are on the CPU card they may or may not be. Can you
get a list of DEC module numbers from the card cage?
