I'm looking for anything from a complete NCR Tower/32 200 system to service info / OS load tapes, whatever. If you have or know of one, let me know. Thanks!

Are you specifically seeking tape images and docs or a whole system?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but on my FTP server you wil find an install-set for Unistride 2.2 ( i.e. Unix) for a Stride 6xx machine. This is a 68020/68851/SCSI computer, which Stride called "software compatible with the NCR / Tower 32.
Find it here ftp.dreesen.ch/Sage&Stride/Unistride
Use Filezilla if you have issues accessing FTP servers.

A whole system would be great - or a logic board - working or not. I already have a documentation set and OS install tapes for SRV3 ( IIRC ) rev 1.1.1 and diag tapes as well as other tapes.

Thanks! It may provide some clues as to the architecture, if not more. -- Bob

Wow! Blast from the past! Was stumbling around the net reminiscing and came across this.
I worked on the production floor in west Columbia sc @ ncr where these were built.
Used to have a thin man for a while a long time ago. That was one unique design, waaay ahead of its time. Sold the hell out of ‘em.
Drawn up in secret at a leased out dance hall to avoid espionage.
Still of interest at all after all this time amazes me.

Unfortunately they have a CMOS battery mounted on the main board - that combined with the vertical orientation of the board ensure complete destruction. I'd love to get the one I have working again, or find another one, its a very unusual system. Unfortunately its reliance on PALs and also 80188 CPU's for I/O processing makes it a pain to troubleshoot.
