Hey all --
Last summer I picked up a Ridge 32/330 that became
available locally. This is a fairly obscure early RISC
machine intended to be a competitor to the VAX, it uses a
32-bit CPU at 12.5Mhz built from discrete components
(spanning three large PCBs). Mine's outfitted with 8mb of
ECC memory, Pertec, SMD and SCSI QIC controllers, and
Ethernet.
You can see some pictures of this beast at:

WOW, this is something like what I was trying to build in
about 1982. See

But, trying to do this all by myself, I kind of got bogged down.
