- Now, since both the DECstation 3100 and VAXstation 3100 use standard SCSI,
- your best bet is to probably get 3rd party fast SCSI drives (fast meaning
- less than 20ms access times). Not only are they faster, but they are probably
- cheaper too.

    Does getting 3rd party SCSI drives also entail getting a device driver
from the 3rd party vendor, or are all SCSI drive alike?  (I know next to
nothing about SCSI devices.)

On an unrelated note, does someone know if the keyboard of the DECstation 3100
has a reasonably-placed escape key?
