Are we talking 5 of those plus enough spare parts to build another one :) http://www.lindsay.geek.nz/images/Cisco_AGS_Parts/
Multibus-Cbus bridge cards for an AGS+, and microcode roms for same. The AGS+ chassis came with a 5-slot Cbus backplane -- that's the connector on the right (component side up), but by default it wasn't connected to anything. You needed those cards to talk to it, as the CPU only talked via the Multibus backplane (which was the only backplane you got on an AGS). You could then add 6-port Ethernet or FDDI cards. Cbus cards could transfer data between them along the Cbus, taking load off the (relatively slow) Multibus. -- don
