Pretty futile to restore until I have manuals and a load tape if needed in front of me. The previous owner said it powered up and did not blow smoke so that is a good thing... but even still that was many many years ago. Unlike you Jay that has a 'mountain' of DG stuff in front of you to *wicker basket something together from... all I have is this one lonely rack! I have no familiarity with DG op/sys at all.... never ran one .. I did had an orig NOVA ( lo s/n no other suffix after it... about the first year I was in the computer business sold it to someone... I did try to track it back but they guy has scrapped it... as I found out 30 years later. BUT! I figure DG sould have some sort of representation here... and if it attracts MORE DG so be it!Least case it needs a terminal to display with it and ... yes... A POSTER! This month's 'make computer work ' project is HP-3000 related. In a message dated 9/22/2015 12:04:36 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, jw...@classiccmp.org writes:

But that's just me. J
