G'day Mike -
I'm not familiar with those serial number formats -
DG has quite a few different main computer lines divided into the following
major groups:
16-bit Nova
16-bit Eclipse
32-bit MV [also called MV/EClipse]
Motorola 88000-based AViiON systems
now Intel x86-based AViiON systems.
DG was also recently purchased by EMC mainly for its RAID storage line, the
CLARiiON.
We are trying to collect, preserve and archive all DG 16-bit related
hard/soft/doc-ware (www.SimuLogics.com ) and am moving to 32-bit MV
preservation faster than initially intended.
Carl Friend and Chris Kennedy are good resource due to enthusiasm and
experience.
I would need to know more to answer about the model numbers or physical
description to give you better answer...
Bruce

Hello people,
I'm currently seeking information on Data General's Nova
line of
minicomputers.
In one of my last hauls I ended up with 3 machines from Mask
Computers after they were purchased by REBEL.COM.
Would any open here know anything about these machines?
With the company no longer in business would they be worth
holding onto?
