G'day Jeff -
Our our expanding Data General museum has been promised a Nova 2 system that
is currently in Mexico which
has a COI Linctape system. The computer was working until several years ago
in a production control facility, and the
D-10632 board might be just the thing to help us restore this promised COI
unit.

Subject: Rescued: Data General Nova Boards
Hi, I was at my local uni surplus today (UC Santa
Barbara) and found,
buried
in a bin of random industrial parts from the chem lab,
some Data General
Nova
boards. Here's what I found, if anyone would like
to help me identify
them
further:
These boards are 15 x 15 inches:
107-000187-12X Disk Cartridge Controller, DGC Nova
107-000007-02 DGC Nova Extender Board (quantity 2, one with gouged
traces)
107-000055-03 DGC D-A Converter Scope Control Card
Reader
107-000054-02 DGC General Purpose Interface
107-000151-17-16 DGC Nova Cassette I/O
107-000094-00 DG Nova Compatible Wiring Board (quantity 2)
D-10632-01 Data Channel Linc Tape, CO3000N Option 008
The wiring boards look to be prototyping boards, they are half filled with
soldered sockets and hand-wired components.
These boards are 6.5 x 3.25 inches, and have no obvious plug connectors:
107-000008-01 DGC (no other writing, quantity 2)
These look like prototyping boards also, with rows for sockets and wire
wrap
posts on either side. Each has different components
wired up.
I don't have any DG stuff, and it's unlikely I'm going to acquire one in
the
near future (still working on my Sun 2/120), so
eventually these will go
to
someone else. I'll be leaving Sunday on a trip
until Aug 10th, but I'll
try
to take some photos of the boards tomorrow or Saturday
(if anyone is
interested in them).
