Ok, according to your data, this box will be recognized as KA51, MicroVAX
3100-90/95, i think. So it should work in -current.
The only thing missing for those machines in -current is booting off the
SCSI disks. Ragge? You wanted to work on the booter, if i remember this rig=
ht.
Is your work finished? Then i'll try to fix up the SCSI booting for the
"generic ka53.c-handled" machines :)

I don't think so, as your configuration just shows up ONE SCSI controller.
So this might be the internal bus. Connect something, and if it shows up as
DKB, you have 2 SCSI buses, otherweise, if named DKA, it is the internal bu=
s,
like in the VAX 4000/105A.
The 3100m96 seems to have a second SCSI controller, but this might be optio=
nal,
as the DSSI board in the 4000/105A is replaceable AFAIK.

Nope. VAX uses 80pin-modules, not 72pin-modules. And don't try DECstation-
modules, they are incompatible in a way, which could damage modules or mach=
ine.
(Power supply will be short circuited... i tested one time :)

Yes. Port 3 is your console, the rest should also work, never tested. You h=
ave
4 ports, 3 are MMJ, and one is RS232 (DB25)

Yes. Should be around 40VUPs. My 4000/105A is also _VERY_ crispy in
performance, and has "just" 32VUPs. (83MHz vs 100MHz AFAIK).

Dann kipp mal ein -current auf das Ding und hab Spass damit :)
