Someone on FB pointed out that the 029 was announced this day in 1964.
I've got one as well as a 129. I didn't realize they were that old of a

Fascinating! And, of course, with discrete transistors, it should not

The mechanicals look like a pretty major repair project, though!

Did they ever make punch to make your own?

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
