The VAXstation 3100 is an NCR 5380 asynchronous only SCSI based
system. It may work but your disk would most likely have to "trick" the
system into thinking it is a DEC disk. Now on the DECstation 3100
(supports either synchronous or asynchronous devices) I don't think you
would have this problem. I posted an article in this notesfile several
days ago that describes the DECstation 3100 and how to add 3rd party
disks to that system. The above assumes Ultrix as the OS.  I don't know
what VMS does on the VAXstation 3100.
