This is almost an impossible question to answer (!) but it might be worth
mentioning Pimcore. This is an open source master data management tool, meaning
that it supports both schema (data model) design and generation/design of UI
elements via a reasonably decent management interface.

I'm guessing this could be known to others on the list, but I haven't seen it
mentioned, so posting just in case.
There doesn't seem to be mention of any recovery effort in the comments (that I
could see).

While I'm on a roll, I saw this one randomly also - seems to have been a topic
of interest to the list not long ago?
It's a bit short & limited in terms of load but might suit someone

Nice work spotting the factory ..
Needless to say, it might not even be possible to do anything, but hopefully
someone takes an interest!

Hi Al,
I didn't know about Jay retiring or what that means for the list - i.e. does it
need to find new infrastructure, new administraton/management, or both? I'm a
relatively background person in the vintage computing sc
I run a server farm of over 300 machines.
Dedicating one to a mailing list at no cost is easy.
The admin work well that’s life ha.

Ah - now that's the spirit ! ;)
Yes the infrastructure is the smaller part of the problem - tinkering with the
software if it breaks is the thing. I'm up to my e

I'm not sure if this helps - they seem like they may be in the disposal chain
though, might possibly be able to grab manuals if they come up?

I was surprised to find out this morning that it seems Ed De Castro has passed
on September 6 this year.
I can't see any reference to this in cctalk, so I'll try to give a short
summary of Ed's accomplishments.
Many here would know that Ed worked for DEC and was project manager in charge

Sorry you'll notice also on the lower half of the front is an aluminium cover
that detaches with a couple of screws, revealing another card with additional
labelling on it. Also have a look around the inside of the case. Any of those

Actually I've got a couple of these units, and as Bruce has indicated yes
they're a Data General manufactured product. (Bruce is the one with vastly more
