Hey, I've got an ICM-3216 which I picked up.  Wow, it was 5 years ago 
already...

Anyways, the HDD (a Seagate ST225N maybe?) and QIC tape drive were 
borked when I got it, and I hadn't had any success finding any OS 
(Genix maybe?) for it.  I've got replacement drives to use, but no 
media to install from. :(

Any chance that you (or someone else here) could help me out with that?

I've also got a fully maxed-out Encore Multimax which I finally have 
somewhere I might be able to play with it (and I've got all the manuals 
and install media for it).  IIRC, it's got (I think) 40 x NS32332's and 
128MB of RAM (and some big SMD disks and a nice-looking 
vertical-rack-mount 9-track drive).

I think that those are the only two NS32k architecture machines that 
I've got (and they're pretty well spread between low and high-end :).
