The disks I believe are the same, I have not yet tried this with a DS3100,
although we have plan to replaced an RD53 with a Micropolis (equiv to an RD54).
What I am going to try as soon as I get an extra RZ55, is swap out a RD53 disk
and a Sun shoebox disk. The only problem I forsee is the fact that each
manufacturer has a different imbedded (scsi or otherwise) controller.
