The nova a 800/1200 series machine and thank you for mentioning about the 8L drives. I’m
hesitant to sell or trade it because it does kind of have sentimental value as the first
machine I got and especially since it has such a interesting history (nuclear power plant
in France). Since those drives for the 8 are so unobtainable I think I’ll just keep it as
the basic system with a teletype and also so I’m not having to swap drives between systems
every time I want to use it

Hello everyone I’m a young collector (18) of 60s
and 70s minicomputers and micros. I have been restoring a PDP-8L and would love to find
ether a Diablo series 30 or Dec RK03 removable cartridge drive to go with this system.
Is it even possible to add a diskdrive to a PDP8/L ? My 1970 "Small computer
handbook" only mentions TU55/TC01 and DF32 as mass-storage options for the 8/L. Both
are essentially unobtainable.
Maybe sell the 8/L and get yourself an 8/E or /F ? Much more flexible.
I am in the uk South Yorkshire to be precise and
would love any leads anyone could provide on where I could find one would very much
appreciated. If nobody know where one of these drives can be located any means of mass
storage for a pdp 8L and data general nova system w
Which Nova precisely ?
As an aside to the list : I do have an 8/E & Diablo 44 combo for sale ate 5K ( which
is what I paid for it) Located in CH
