aviion 4000 info

I can relate. I got really hot and bothered when I got my MV. I took five months of solid after-work labor to bring it back to life. It is a close relative of the Eagle machine that was the basis for Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer prize winner 'Soul of a New Machine' which I read from the camp library in Okinawa. Man, I scoured the Earth for install tapes. I eventually found them and strangely only four miles from my home in NC. I had to buy a 9track drive and rig it to the MV, but it worked. DG has a rich history. I'm sorry it has fallen into such a hole. They are a part of EMC now. EMC bought them for their disk array technology. No more DG computers that I'm aware of after that.

Anybody know of a source of these in the UK? Or even a Nova, if it's not too big. I did see one of those in the Science Museum, next to the brain scanner exhibit. -- John Honniball coredump(a)gifford.co.uk
