Yes, the first 3100's had MFM controllers, and half-height MFM drives
(RD31, RD32) in them. They also had a 34-pin floppy interface to a
non-SCSI RX23. Then came models that had *both* MFM and SCSI interfaces.
The latest ones had two SCSI interfaces, and used a SCSI-fied RX23 in
them.

True, the RX23 doesn't have a lot of use. You can't even (officially)
build a standalone backup kit on it.
