    Hello again everyone!

    My IBM RT is well on the road to recovery. I have a Seagate hard drive
    and all the disks needed to load AIX 2.2.1.

    I plan to hook up an IBM 5085-2 graphics processor to my RT. I would
    have called it a graphics terminal, but I didn't name it. I have the
    5085 and the cable coming from the unit. I am looking for the card for
    the RT and the Peripheral adapter??? for the 5085.

    I believe the card for the RT is called the 5080 interface, but I am
    not sure. The peripheral adapter is supposed to plug into the cable
    from the 5085 and allow the RT and 5085 to share the keyboard and
    mouse.

    Anyone out there still have some of these parts and maybe some advice?

    Thanks,
    John

    In case anyone stumbles across this, I have a 5085 and connect card. I
    do not have the microcode floppy for the 5085 which might be required to
    start it. I also don't have any software for the RT side which would
    use the 5085. Interested in working with others to make a fully working
    setup.

    Regards,
    Kevin
