VAXen with SCSI seem for reasons I've forgotten to be always set as host at
6
so a device at 0-5 and 7 are ok. It wasn't until I'd seen PC SCSI that i'd
ever seen
a host at 7!

It hauls! Check on this, I think that machime may not have the problem but
older SCSI vaxen have a limit of 1.07gb for the boot disk. Has to do with
how VMS uses the boot rom driver if it has to do a core dump on crash.

I run a VS3100M76 (7.8vup) and DW runs really well on it.
