I picked up a very nice RT system the other day from a

We've just been setting it up today (or trying to), and an obvious

Dang, I'm jealous. I've been looking for a 5080 attachment adapter
for RT, PS/2 or RS/6000 for a while now.
My *assumption* is that one of these outputs (and the
breakout box
came with a coax cable already hooked up to BNC #1) links to the
BNC input on the back of the 5085, forming the comms channel
between the 8085 and the RT.
Your assumption is correct. You'll probably want the RT PC Options
Installation manual off my site:

What you probably have is the S/370 Host Interface Adapter, which
operates similarly in principle to the later, MCA version for PS/2 or
RS/6000. I don't think it matters which BNC connector you use.
ok
