I landed a Tektronix 6130 earlier this year, one of a few NS32000-based workstations Tektronix offered in the 1980s. I was very surprised and pleased to discover that it was able to boot from the ancient Micropolis 1302 hard drive inside. No expansion cards, and the UTek installation has been brutally stripped down to under 8MB on disk. No compiler, lots of empty directories in /usr, etc.
But it runs, and exercises the hardware, and runs diags. So I've got an image of that Micropolis 1302 and the EPROM images online here. If you come across a 6130 and have an MFM Emulator by David Gesswein, you may be able to use that image to evaluate the system.
