Same here... I love weird old Unix workstations and the Aviion is one

Am I right in thinking that there were big Aviions, too? The only one I
ever saw was a small desktop/deskside tower. The first
was a Data General Aviion AV300 workstation. This is one
of the few machines built around the Motorola 88K CPU. It came with its
original keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a full set of DG-UX manuals. I
don't yet know if it's functional, but according to my friend it was
running a few years ago.
Ack, I'm really jealous over this one :) It'll be
interesting to hear
if the presumably dead nvram battery matters -- I think some people are
looking for dumps from working units.
