Well darn.
Anyway, I can direct you to a source for install media and
keyboard/mouse. Call Computer Parts Barn in Asheville, North Carolina.
The proprietor there has a ton of DG stuff including Aviion gear. He'll
be able to help you if anyone can. The number should be (828) 274-5963.
The name is Ed Kirby. He's a little hard to get to know, but he's a nice
guy and I swear by him.
IIRC, the Aviions generally ran a version of DG/UX which is DG's version
of Unix. There might be a version of AOS for it as well, but I'm not
sure on that score.
There were two kinds of Aviion (Nova in reverse if you didn't know).
There was a Motorola 88k CPU-based version (sometimes multiprocessor),
and an Intel version. The Intel versions are the latter.
Regards,
Jeff

Are you Sure it is an Aviion? I'd love for it to
be an MV/4000. It
seems I'm like the only person on earth who has his own DG/MV machine.
Mine runs AOS/VS II and is the size of a dormitory room refrigerator.
Most of them were much larger but I got the pint-sized one which is a
good thing.
Regards,
Jeff
