Does anyone have any information (manuals, schematics, engineering drawings,
etc.) for the Data General 6227 drives? I think they were 15mb units.
Also was given a description of a DG computer thusly - "DG 4x16-slot
computer with 128Kb RAM". Can anyone tell me what this is likely to be?
Thanks in advance!

Sadly, I don't. I sure could use them.

Sounds like maybe a Jumbo chassis mapped Nova 4...
Bruce might have some of the documents you're after.
Cheers,
Chris.

Nope, only manuals for the 14", 500MB or so, drives which fail when
the computer room temperature reaches 90 to 100 degrees F. :-)

G'day Jay -
I don't have hardcopy info on the 6227 drive. Maybe in microfiche
somewhere, so I will search the boxes.
The Nova 4/X was the last DG Nova computer produced, with the DG client base
transitioning to the Eclipse and 32-bit MVs starting in 1980. The 16-slot
chassis was a good design, especially if it is one of the later model
shielded ones. Best wishes in saving this system.
I would be interested in borrowing any manuals or software for archiving if
you do get the system, and you are also welcome to the software and doc's in
our archive: http://www.simulogics.com/archives/manuals/DG.htm
