I recently aquired a Data General MV/4000DC minicomputer with three 200 terminals and one 215 terminal, a 6311 tape unit and a Comswitch II access controller. I have rebuilt the tape drive and it works great now. I can boot from the onboard hard disk and navigate the system. I have gotten all 16 virtual consoles functioning. I have very little docs on this machine so pretty much have to 'hack' out anything I want to do which is slow progress. Does anyone have documentation on this machine or the AOS/VS operating system? Does anyone have SYSTEM Media for this machine? Does anyone have SOFTWARE for the machine? If I can help YOU with your classic computer questions, please let me know. I can help with: Atari 8 bits - know and have lots. Lots of software too. (450+ disks) I can help in: Networking Hard disks programming in Basic Various other languages All variants of AtariDos (MyDos, SmartDOs, etc) All Variants of Spartados including SDX Atari ST series computers - have two and am running MINT. Can help in TOS and a BSD unix clone I am running called MiNT which stands for Mint is Not Tos. CP/M 2.2 machines (z80 processor) such as ATR8000, ATR8500, Cromemco, Osborne, Kaypro, etc. I am a technician servicing Intel-based PC's so if you need support there I can help in: CP/M all versions of MS/PC dos etc, Concurrent DOS too OS/2 Windows x Windows NT SUSE and REDHAT Linux SCO Openserver V Windows NT terminal Server GEOS Sun Solaris (X86) OS/2 Warp and Warp Servers Novell Netware 2 thru 4 Lantastic Novell Netware lite 1.1 General networking questions for above operating systems and hardware. Please help with my MV4000DC. If you would like to see it you can TELNET into my PC which is running as a terminal on the MV4000 and you can play with the minicomputer that way! Just e-mail me and we will set up a time. Thanks in advance, Technoid Mutant -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey S.
