It seems some here are confusing the VAXstation 3100 systems and the 
MicroVAX 3100 systems.  Not the same thing, for the most part.

The VAXstation 3100 model 76 was, I believe, the last of this line of 
systems.  Used the Rigel CPU.

Some of the earlier MicroVAX 3100 systems had some similarity to the 
earlier VAXstation 3100 systems, and used the C-VAX CPU.  The 10, 20, 
10e, 20e, had the same memory cards, I'm not sure about the models 30 
and 40.  The 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, and 98 used the N-VAX CPU, and more 
standard memory SIMMs.

Some really good systems, for their time.
