uVax Question

Guys:

I realize that this question has probly been raised before,
but I'll ask, as I cannot seem to find the answer. I have a
lead on a MicroVAX 3100-30, that I can get for what I *think*
is a pretty reasonable price. But before I dive into this,
I need to know:

1. What is the difference between a MicroVAX, VaxStation, and a
   VaxServer?

2. How desirable are these 3100-30's? That is, is there software
   available, or are there any undesirable traits-- e.g. hard
   to upgrade, can only hold xx amout of RAM, etc?

3. What kind of display does this use? CRT/Keyboard, or terminal?

4. How do I tell the disk size, memory size, etc?

5. What would be a 'reasonable' price (just a ballpark figure,
   I don't wanna spend $500 on a box that could be had elsewhere
   for $50).
   
6. Anthing else I should know before committing time/money?
