Conclusions for the archives...

It is entirely possible to put non-DEC third party drives in the VAXStation 
3100/M76. I have recently installed two 2.1 GB "Barracuda" drives in them 
and they are working flawlessly. The steps are:

	Install the drive, select an ID that isn't being used on the SCSI bus.
	Run the PROM based formatter on the drive using "TEST 75" to the monitor.
	Install your software on the drive.

On the M76 there is no requirement that the boot disk be smaller than 1GB 
(apparently this is true on earlier models).

This looks like it will turn out to be a good NetBSD development machine as 
it is reasonably fast (7+ VUPs), and reasonably compact as VAXen go.
