One of the DMA channels of the NEC V50 (80186 compatible) services the Adaptec SCSI controller. I would still like to know about the DECstation 3100 hardware. I appreciate the discussion on UNIX implementation that the original request fostered, but my interests at present are in the physical (not metaphysical!) aspects of the new DEC entry, i.e. footprint, basic system components, i.e. cache sizes, and peripherals (internal or external). Has anyone other than DEC personnel seen or used the DECstation 3100? seenu ..!pyramid!isieng!seenu #include
