One of scrappers has got in a Nova 3 that he is interested in selling. it
appears to be a 12 slot card cage with the following cards.
Nova 3 CPU D4864
Nova 3 Triple option 8534
2 16K SCMEM 1638 & 0659
DGC nova Cassette I/O 4F-0334
DGC Nova Compatable wiring board 005-000-449-04
Disk Cartridge Control 4134
another DGC Nova Cassette I/o 5075
There is also a DG removable pack disk drive 4234
I have not seen it yet but I think it is missing the plastic front covers.
If anyone is interested please contact me off list and I will try to find
more about it.
I suspect it is heavy but I have considerable experience in shipping this
type of hardware. It has been about 9 years since I have seen a Nova 3.

G'day Paxton -
Whatever became of this system...? I don't remember the status of trying to
save this puppy.

Does anyone have info on these? I rescued one from U of M and it has become
the prized possession in my collection.
It used to drive some kind of ancient logic analyzer, I can't ID any of the
boards in it, but I'm pretty sure I have a
disk controller board of some kind. Got it mounted in a big old COMTAL
Vision/1 mainframe chasis, right above
my Quadex Q500 CPU and TBU/Winchester disk unit. I'm not sure what condition
the logic is in, it turns on and LED's blink :)
