Overall a pretty small machine. Looks like it used two serial ports, one at 9600 baud for the primary console, then the other at 300 baud. Probably a teletype off to the side. Seems to be a 1981 machine. Unfortunately I got no docs or media with this machine. And it appears all that is up on bitsavers are tape images? Anyone have any disk images for the 6030 drive of anything like RDOS?

Re: DG Nova 4 for pickup on Lon Gisland
Well I ended up picking up this machine. Its a bit beaten in some places, cleaner than expected in others. Overall it cleaned up pretty well and all power-supplies appear to work well! Got it up to DG's "ODT" can't remember what they called it. Ram looks good at the beginning of the address space anyway. This has a "JR. CPU" board in, a Cassette I/O board which I believe only has an extra UART on it, none of the cassette interface as its pretty sparse. And the 8" Disk controller board (6030 controller).

While this is an absurdly small Data General Nova system for the era (at least it is not a microNova), you would run RDOS - not unlike a dual 8 inch floppy Z80 system of the day. -- Will On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 2:27 PM Anders Nelson via cctalk wrote: > > How does a person program this computer?

Re: DG Nova 4 for pickup on Lon Gisland
How does a person program this computer? I assume there's no C compiler. Would one have to boot to a DOS, then load a compiler into RAM, then read program text into ram, them compile? I have less-than-zero experience with DG systems, but a higher-than-zero adoration for their design/pedigree. =] -- Anders Nelson +1 (517) 775-6129 www.erogear.com On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 2:21 PM Jacob Ritorto via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Shoot, was asking my wife if I could have it for Christmas to replace my > regular desk in the family room :) > But to keep the decor of our home a little more sane, I'll abstain from > bidding and wish you best of luck instead! > > happy holidays and good luck! > --jake > > On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 1:28 PM Connor Krukosky via cctalk < > cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > > Alright, I think I will go for it.

Re: DG Nova 4 for pickup on Lon Gisland
Shoot, was asking my wife if I could have it for Christmas to replace my regular desk in the family room :) But to keep the decor of our home a little more sane, I'll abstain from bidding and wish you best of luck instead! happy holidays and good luck! --jake On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 1:28 PM Connor Krukosky via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Alright, I think I will go for it.

Alright, I think I will go for it. I am not too far from it being in Poughkeepsie.

Re: DG Nova 4 for pickup on Lon Gisland
That's pretty awesome in a desk unit. Always wanted to get a trs or altair desk unit. Hadn't realized there were many more.

It is close enough to me to rescue, but I really don't have the space to store it. Will anyone take it if I hold it a while?
