The machine I am getting is pretty complete I believe. It come mounted in

what version of the peripherals I'm getting. It will be like christmas for
me.
I will document the details of my system next week. There may be parts we
could
swap and both end up with more complete systems.

Anybody else
out there with and 8/i?
I had three at one point, but traded one off for an Interdata. Of the two
I have left, one is in need of the silkscreened front panel (just the
panel, not the switches and lights). That's going to be a "fun" and
costly thing to find.
I will likely consolidate the systems at some point, if I can find some
proper racks (the tubular aluminum ones, pre-H960). The machines now are
so hacked up and fooled with its impossible to tell just what goes with
what.
Interestingly, the TU56 controller on one of the systems is made of
System Building Blocks, not Flip-Chips. It looks like it may have been a
production build, not just a hobby or academic hack job. No one seems to
know what that is all about.
