Even just a few choice parts of an RT machine would be great. Several months ago, I found the remains of what I surmise were 2 RT systems, but their cases, system boards, power supplies, and various other organs and limbs had already met a grisly fate. I managed to salvage the processor boards, one of which contains several chips that are stamped "Experimental Only," as well as a coprocessor assembly, memory cards, disk controllers, display adapters (both monochrome, not Megapel), and some multiport serial cards that I'll probably never use. Assuming that a sufficient subset of these cards are functional, I should be able to patch together a skeletal RT PC even if I just get my hands on a system board. But any bits and pieces -- power supply, keyboard, mouse, an actual case (!!) -- would be of interest to me. So if you have any RT parts (or a whole machine) and you're not particularly attached to them, please send me a PM. Thanks.
