Onderwerp: Data General Nova 3 manuals needed
Hi,
I have a Nova 3 that I would like to get to know a little better.
I do not have any manuals and a quick search came up with
a dead end.
Info on testing and how to interface to the console port ??
(external term). Is it TTY or RS232 and of coarse which
pins or ???

Bruce are you out there ???? ;-)
Below is the card lay out
Thanks, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I picked up a Nova 3 with 8" diskette and (rmovable/fixed) hard dsk
almost a year ago, and there was some documentation with it.
Also a CRT and keyboard and a printer. I will look at the "names".
<stumbling over piles, hmmm, very in need to be sorted out>
the CRT is a D200/100, and the separate keyboard has a few keys
stuck :( the printer is probably a Dasher 2 without keyboard, printer
only. I have not looked at the doc, neither what's available on bitsavers.
I know my Nova 3 is very dirty inside, and just like you Jerry, I know
nothing about these beasties. My system is housed in the ~160 cm high cabinet.
I have been told that DG uses some sort of protocol between the system
and the console or printer, and that a simple VT220 is not the best
option ... Me too, I would like to hear *lots* more about this system!
Is there somebody that knows the details about the "dark page" in history
from DIGITAL, when some employees left DEC to found
Data General?
Love to hear that!
