An interface card schematic has appeared in my inbox
as if by magic.
If that allows you to create a list of what various 8000-series chips do (or
if you've since located one), that would be a good thing to have available
online. If you have (or create) one, we can stick it on the Computer History
wiki...

That sounds like a great idea! I should be able to at least identify the functions of the
specific chips used on that card.
Additional documentation is flowing in behind the schematic courtesy of that little birdie
who all of us DG collectors know and love, and it's putting me in a really fantastic
mood this morning. I'm feeling so happy that I think I'll buy my dogs a
cheeseburger at In-N-Out on the way home tonight to celebrate. Now I'm looking forward
to working on this project some more this weekend, rather then dreading the tedium of
reverse-engineering a design with black-box chips!

Little dog gets 1/3, and bigger dog gets 2/3. That's the In-N-Out prescribed dosage;
for McDonald's, it's 1/2 for little dog, 1 for big dog, and 1/2 for me (plus the
Quarter Pounder I already ate) since their cheeseburgers are smaller.

Just one? Or do you want a dog fight?

LOL! I assume that you already know this birdie, but I'll be happy to hook you up if
not.
Have you determined whether any of your 6030 floppy drives are "extra"? If not,
I think that there's exactly the right amount of open rack units in my DG rack to hold
my PDP-8/M and a mil-surplus Chalco high speed paper tape reader I have that could be fun
to interface to the PDP-8 and/or the Nova. But if I'll be hosting a 6030 drive in the
rack then I'll need to come up with a different plan!
