I realize that these were not the technical terms, That little d on the 3100 may mean that the drive has custom DEC roms, that sort of difference has been seen on other DEC drives. But I'm no expert.

But I'm no expert. >Clive. Clive, The RZ23 Digital drive should work with no problems at all, on either a Mac or a PC.. The problem is that the RZ's (ALL) DO NOT spin up at power up time. You must send them a power up command. I have a program for my Mac that will write a location in the ROM that will make it spin up at power up.. If you have access to a Mac I can give u the program. Don't know what to tell you for the PC though...
