Frank,
The RS-1 fork I mentioned is a suspension fork. The radical forks are all rigid forks. Rigid blades bolted to al crowns. The Bontrager forks used the same crown as the RS-1 btw. Your frame is for sure not suspension ready, but an old short travel suspension fork wouldn't hurt as much as a later fork. Still, imo early suspension is very easy way to ruin a bike with. Nice for the museum.
I would say the original fork should be an unicrown for your frame. Judging by decals, routing and bottle bosses. The unicrown is absolutely not the same as that of the M-bike. The CM ATB is very 80s style. It is a brazed unicrown fork for the CM btw.
