Very likely there is a two board controller missing - did you say you have separate 7970 tape drive? If it's non-HP-IB, then
those two missing boards
are tape-1 and tape-2. You'd want those :)

I don't know what OS the system was running.
RTE, DOS, BCS? I dunno - I'd make a wild stab at what you've said so far
about the machine that it was RTE.
I guess that the first thing that I have to do
now that I tested the
power supply and verified that the machine (seems to) turn on,
is to build a serial console cable for this. I have several cables
that will fit the BACI boards, but the connectors at the other
end have been cut off. Does anybody have the pin out for the
finger pads in the front of the BACI boards?
I use 12531 controllers. I do have a few baci boards, but I'm not sure docs I have on them. I'll look, but anyone else
have this handy?
