   I've used VS3100-M38 machines a lot back when they were new, and own 
several of them now.  Whaddya wanna know about 'em?  Here's some basics:

   3.8VUP CVAX CPU
   SCSI, can take two internal 3.5" HDs
   May have SCSI 3.5" 1.44MB floppy
   Can be run headless (console terminal on the MMJ port marked 
"printer")
   Can take a GPX (Dragon chipset) framebuffer...1024x864, 8 bits
   GPX framebuffer can be run as greyscale or color depending on the tube
   Uses LK201/LK401 keyboards
   Can run VMS, Ultrix, or NetBSD quite well
