I will contact you off-list in the next few days regarding software
license and docs...

Everything DG related on bitsavers has been on hold for a while until the
licensing situation with EMC worked

It is far more likely to have had a Dasher terminal, in this era.

Well I ended up picking up this machine. Its a bit beaten in some
places, cleaner than expected in others.
Overall it cleaned up pretty well and all power-supplies appear to work
well!
Got it up to DG's "ODT" can't remember what they called it. Ram looks
good at the beginning of the address
And I assume the Fortran IV compiler could run on this system.

While this is an absurdly small Data General Nova system for the era
(at least it is not a microNova), you would run RDOS - not unlike a
dual 8 inch floppy Z80 system of the day.

How does a person program this computer? I assume there's no C compiler.
Would one have to boot to a DOS, then load a compiler into RAM, then read
program text into ram, them compile?
I have less-than-zero experience with DG systems, but a higher-than-zero
adoration for their design/pedigree.
Shoot, was asking my wife if I could have it for Christmas to replace my
regular desk in the family room :)
But to keep the decor of our home a little more sane, I'll abstain from
bidding and wish you best of luck instead!
happy holidays and good luck!

Alright, I think I will go for it. I am not too far from it being in
Poughkeepsie.
Always loved the desk machines, and I personally have another kinda
parts Nova 4 that hopefully I can use to switch parts between to get one
really nice machine :)

I had one of those quite a few years ago. The desk comes apart fairly
easily. The main unit is just a standard shorty 19" rack.

That's pretty awesome in a desk unit. Always wanted to get a trs or altair desk
unit. Hadn't realized there were many more.
Unfortunately distance and wife would be prohibitive for my collection. :-(

It is close enough to me to rescue, but I really don't have the space to
store it.
Will anyone take it if I hold it a while?
