Regarding one reply to this about a PDS, there is nothing at all in 
common.  Not even a memory board, so that really isn't an option.

However, regarding the "victim" of the accident, it does appear from the 
photos that most or all of the boards are likely undamaged from the 
accident.  I have an MDS that is intact, mechanically, but that has 
several missing or nonfunctional boards.  The two would make one.  Mine 
needs just about all the pieces that appear good in this photo.  That 
includes the monitor module.

Since I already have several MDS's that are functional, I'm not really 
interested in spending money to create another.  However, if there is a 
museum that is interested in a working MDS, I would be willing to create 
one from this "wreckage" and my partial system and give it to that museum.

If someone is willing to get with me about that possibility, let's talk.
