My brother died about 10 years ago from a heart attack. Unfortunately I

material. He had hundreds of tapes and manuals, including his
documentation of source code for AOS/VS.
I've been kicking myself since.
Something blue and white and it says Data General
on the front. If it
says MV it would be even nicer.
Does anyone see these anymore? My brother was one of the developers of
AOS/VS and I would really like to restore one.
They do exist. I picked up an MV2500 about 4 years ago from a University that
had it standing in storage. A couple of the hard drives refused to run;
fortunately the OS drive was still operational.
I guess I should try and copy the drive data onto a spare disk in case it
decides to fail, unless anyone knows where I can get some AOS/VS media from?
