I for example have a DG Nova 2 and nearly *NO*

All I know is that the PSU and lights are OK. And that I can play
around a bit. I have no reliable documentation. And no clue how to
hook up a TTY or load software and all the like...
That might sound a bit stupid... but... I got frustrated by the lack
of *everything* for my Nova. All I have for the machine is plenty of
core memory...
Why is DG stuff not put onto Bitsavers?
Because EMC (the current owners of the IPO) would send lawyers at Al so
quickly, your head would spin.
There however has been some talk of someone negotiating with EMC to get
some sort of hobbyist license/distribution for some of the software.
Check the list archives - it has been talked about before a few times.
