I think the last I posted here... the cpu was up and running, that was the
first piece I refurbished. I took everything out of the rack and cleaned
that up well, and the cpu has been remounted there.

Thanks! Most of those pics are "so I don't forget where wires go", but some
of them are presentable :)

Jay, have you tried floppydisk.com? Their site only shows 3.5 and 5.25"
floppies, but they do have 8" too (although not cheap).
Not sure if they'll have the hard-sectored ones but they have SSSD
soft-sectored (for my RX01) at $90 for a pack of ten. Going rate on ebay is
$25-35 a pack...
Hello,
I'm almost sure that the DG dual 8" uses hard-sectored floppies with 32
sectors (33 holes).
The internal logic will generate sync signals for 8 sectors starting
from the 32 on the floppy.
So industry standard hard-sectored floppies should be fine.
You need to use formatted disks, DG supp

Then I developed a tool to connect it to PC via serial, using the console
port; this tool is somehow similar to VTserver for PDP11 realm, but more
expandable.
Basically, you can do memory transfers between Nova and PC (both
directions), and execute almost *ANY* I/O instru

Great series of pictures Jay!

I am used to make notes and draw sketchy pictures to remember how cables
were connected. But then, I try to re-install all cabling within a week

Yup, I mounted the 6125 in the top of the rack. The thought indeed did not
occur that you can screw the pin in the metal hinge from the *bottom* side.
I removed the top plastic part with the Data General text (top cover) to get
the clearance space needed to hang the drive on the
Hello,
I'm curious to know if you managed to find some hard sectored floppies
to be used with your DG machine...
When you wanna have some fun to try, I could send you the current
version of the tool to transfer data between DG nova and PC.
Unfortunately I have no bootable media yet, but maybe an
