Cards are

M7940,M9400ye
M8044ee,m7946
M8192,empty.
Also have loose grant card....
I collected this machine on Dave's behalf. The seller said it was indeed out of
a 780. I got the impression the 11/23 card was just a spare he had that he put

that's easy to upgrade.
The 11/03 should run RT-11 nicely. Limited RSX, possibly; I don't know
