Hi netlanders:

I am working with a set of 3 IBM RT sytems, of the
'tower' model, and 3 of the desktop model, i dont have
then model numbers at hand but, all of them are under
IBM AIX operating system.

I want to connect some terminals to each cpu, but i have
seen that the machines have a board that show several
weird (very) connectors a the bac side of the chassis.

I want to know if every model of RT, regarding if 
its tower or desktop type, has an AT compatible slot
inside (how many ?) , and if so,  i suppose i can 
plug any Rs232 multiport card inside the RT, i am 
right ?

What i need is to connect serial devices to the RT's.

but seems the connectors used are no standard DB-25 type.

Any help would be appreciated.
