[Info-vax] MicrovaxStation 3100 CDROM

[Dave Barter]

I have a 3100 unit that I need to load software onto. At the moment it only has VMS 7.1 and a TK50 tape drive. I don't have access to another drive. Maybe a dumb question, but can I purchase a cheap external SCSI CDROM drive and use this to move files across? The 3100 has a SCSI connector at the back, it's probably DEC proprietary but I'm hoping there is a connector out there that might work.

Other option is to file transfer via the serial console but I'm not sure if VMS comes with anything like Kermit out of the box.

Thanks
Dave
