I have recently become the proud owner of most of a used Balance 8K.  The
processor boards (NS32032s) have been checked out (well, 5/6 on three
boards), but nothing else has.  The system came without memory, disk
controllers (there is a 4 port SCSI controller, I think) or disks.  Assuming
the power supplies are working and the other parts are as well, what would
it be worth spending to attempt to bring the system to a running state?  Or,
since I'm not really into Sequents, would I be better off selling the whole
or parts and getting out?  (I asked that question in a roundabout way in
misc.forsale.)  The system is about four years old.  Ad-THANKS-vance.
