I had this happen with a SCSI-1 disk in a Vaxstation 3100-30 (not the
same as Microvax 3100-30). At that stage, I would unplug the power from
the drive for a second or two and puyg it back in and it unfroze the
system. VMS was sending a SCSI-2 command and waiting for the drive to
respond or something. The unplugging probabbly cancelled that io and let
VMS move on and there was no problem after that.
