IBM RT

[tom ponsford]

Hi All,

Several people have requested information on what was acquired. Here 
then is a  partial (80%) of what I got. There is an additional
box with some more cards and HDD, but it's under some stuff so it will wait.

I did boot it up, but a problem with the keyboard didn't allow me to get 
much info. That's fixed now but I can't find the system config that I 
wrote down. I'll post that later. But here's the list:
