Neat, I just picked up a 10 buck VS3100-32 today.  Sounds like VAXen
play this weekend!

The RZ23's are really too small to do much with, except for a temp
file system, or maybe a swap file system, or maybe a home file system.

It is hard to imagine we have outgrown them, but, an RZ24 is about
the smallest usable thing these days (200mb).  I hang that for temp
off my microVAX 3100, and it serves there well.  It can do for home
or as a temporary workdisk hung somewhere.

Good Luck

Bob


p.s.  I am hoping the VAXstation 3100 32 is supported? (Y/N?)
