Re: General Data? Computer Equipment Auction - GSA
The rack on the left appears to have a Nova 1220 with 6030 315Kb dual diskette drive and 6045 5 + 5 MB top loader (Phoenix) drive, the rack on the right appears to be a Nova 2/10 with early model 6026 9-track tape drive and 6045 disk drive.

Re: General Data? Computer Equipment Auction - GSA
The rack on the left has a DG NOVA 2 and the rack on the right may be a DG NOVA 1200. Sadly I am in Australia so shipping is prohibitively expensive. Hopefully these systems find a good new home.

Oh no. :-( Very sorry to hear that. I hope it's worth it and it works! (So far they've got 'em all early, but had another nasty little polyp carved out of my colon on Tuesday morning. There were 5 last year. One of these years they're going to miss one, and my ticket will come up.) -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
Re: DEC H500 Digital Computer Lab
Hi Ethan, My count is zero. I had no original patch wires at all. :-( I made mine from some cheap banana plugs and silicon leads I bought on AliExpress. Only about 30 % of the plugs were a good fit, the rest I had to modify to make them usable. The YouTube video from my original post shows the patch wires I made. The originals were using 0.1" taper pins, but I never saw an original (other than photos). I couldn't find a source for the correct 0.1" taper pins so the banana plugs were my next best choice.
