We're thinking of buying a uVAX/VAXstation 3100 to integrate into our LAVC.  The
question is whether `MSCP-device sharing' works with SCSI devices.  Our sales
rep asked somebody and was told that it probably ought to -- that's nice,
but we are still cautious since we don't want to buy a system and then discover
that it won't do what we want.  Does anybody have experience (good/bad) in this
arena?

It seems pretty clear that a uVAX3100 can get at other disks in the cluster
(DSSI, RA81, etc) on uVAX3400's and a VAX8250, but will they be able to share
the VS3100's disks?

Thanks for any help,
