Hi Tim,
It's probably got an RD53 in it. An RD52 would be right for a box starting out as a 23 but I wouldn't have thought that you could get a workable unix on the system with only a 52. The problem is that 53s are not the most reliable of hard discs.
I haven't forgotten you, I still need to go to the second lockup to find out what I've got stashed.
