I'm interested in buying a 650meg single or 2-pack for our DECsystem server
(DECsystem 3100 is no more than a graphics-less DECstation 3100, correct?)
The server supports DECstation 3100's and 2100's.
The salesmen believe the RZ56 (650 meg guts of RZ5x-DA, RZ5x-FA boxes)
is NOT SUPPORTED as a boot device -- is this a real barrier or
something easily overcome?
I can opt to keep a 300meg disk as root if that's preferable.
Then all client roots would have to fit on 300meg as well...
thanks...

Not "supported" (not quotes) because ULTRIX V3.1 came out BEFORE the RZ56 did. There is a workaround. Easy one... Your sales rep should check things out with his/her ULTRIX support. Go ahead and order it. Fred (speaking not for dec officially, but what the heck that won't save me if I get in trouble :-))
