Very, Very, Very good haul.

And what I can't believe the most of all.... the I/O extender has a 12920 
mux set in it, which is required for TSB and quite rare. Normally the 
presence of a 2108, 2112, and mux set would make me strongly suspect the 
machine was running Access. But the card placements are wrong, and it's 
missing a key component for sure - the processor interconnect kit.

>From the looks of it, off the top of my head, all that's needed for Access 
is the IOP firmware, processor interconnect kit, and a 7970 mag tape drive.

Unfreakingbelievable.

Congrats!!!
