Data General stuff, Nova 2/10 on ebay

A friend asked me to post this listing of a DG2/10. I told him he is asking 5 times what it is worth but he has delusions of value. If anyone is interested they should would make him an offer after the auction closes. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2052986986&rd=1 I told him the price he is asking is for a fully function and running DG not an incomplete and untested system. I think he realizes it wont sell. I mention him in particular because he is sitting on one of the biggest stashes of Data General in the Northwest. He is an old mainframe person turned into a scrapper who like to accumulate. Findlay used to provide data processing services and still has a running IBM 4381 in a real computer room. However I don't think he does much data processing business anymore and makes his living off of scrapping. He turned out to be the DG scrap specialist in PDX in the late 1990s when a lot of systems were coming out of service from the Government. Last I was there the place was filled with old DG racks. He was/is selling parts into the DG secondary market. Everything from Novas to MVS?10,000s. Not much newer. If you are looking for odd old Data General parts it may be worth contacting him. He travels a good part of the year. Paxton Astoria, OR
