[rescue] RS/6000 bits and pieces

[Mike Katchabaw]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is OT or not, but I see people posting a lot
of RS/6000 questions and items here from time to time.

I recently came into possession of an RS/6000 3AT from some fellow who
paid a ton of money for it at the time, but got frustrated when the
SCSI on the main board ceased working.  Everything comes up to a point
and falls over trying to find to find a SCSI device to boot from.  To
him, the cost for repairs exceeded what he was willing to put into it,
and he left it to me when he moved.  He lost the key for it (uggghhhh)
and subsequently bent the case and lock mechanism (double uggghhhh)
opening the box up.

Since the SCSI on the board is dead, and the lock mechanism likely
busted beyond repair, I decided to part the thing out.  I think I have
been able to ID most of the parts, but I have difficulty trying to
find a value for most of it on the net, except the memory (which looks
to be high to me, but I'm no expert on it either).  So I was
wondering:

 - Have I ID'ed this stuff correctly?
 - How much are these different bits worth?
 - Would anyone here be interested in them?  I have a couple feelers
   out locally, but I thought I'd check here before going to eBay.
 - Any ideas where else to try?

Many thanks in advance!

Mike.
