Hi List, I am the proud owner of what appears by the papers glued to the CPU rack cabinet to be a Data General Eclipse MV-7800/U Mini. It's in twin rack units, the CPU on one side, the Cipher Data 800/1600 tape drive and twin Century Data M315-1 fixed disk units on the other. Problem is, I've found very little information online. There's one Italian site that contains quite a few goodies relating to Novas and Eclipses in general, and one German description of a similar machine. But nothing really in-depth... I've also got an interesting quandary: The CPU rack unit is from a DG Nova 4 (Turquoise stickers and all), yet the primary CPU board seems to match an Italian site picture of an MV7800's. The whole assembly was packaged by World Computer Corporation (Serial Number 303), the DG faceplates removed, and everything but the tape drive covered in smoked plexiglass front panels. This brings me to my primary point to the e-mail: Is there anyone here familiar with these computers still? I'm currently working on inventorying the machine physically, taking snapshots and marking cables, cleaning everything, along with trying to find any information online before I run the power cables (~55 amps seem to be required) and begin trying to revive it. I can post the contents of most of the external paperwork I've found on the unit, along with some pictures, if it's needed -- I'm trying to keep very thorough notes as I go along. This is an interesting challenge for me, especially since I've primarily been refurbishing older microcomputers (1976 to 1990-era machines). I'd like to get in touch with people who know the machine and its peripherals, and might offer helpful advice as I go about the literally back-breaking tasks.
