It depends on what the parts are. There is at least some chance, anyway.

Token ring is token ring (leaving out Apollos and at least as far as IEEE
802.5 is concerned). SCSI devices are, for the most part, SCSI devices. If
you want to get out a soldering iron, I'm sure the memory chips could be
salvaged. How much work do you want to do?

Can you use a twinax terminal with a Mac IIci? Probably not in a
foreseeably useful manner, anyway.

If you've got the cabling for the twinaxial workstation controller, you
could try sending it to Geoff Roberts, down in Australia.

ok
