Hi Chris. I just picked up a Nova 2 loaded with a Diablo 40 series drive,
graphics unit, Kennedy 9800 tape, and a "network" interface. Along with it
came 6 large boxes filled with manuals (schematics, interfacing, theory,
software manuals, and languages,revision notes,nuclear reactor control
software......).
Also came was 130 pounds (I repeat 130 pounds) of paper tape software
including every possible version of rdos, basic, fortran, algol, test tapes,
(other languages)....[many unopened and not installed]....
If you are looking for any documents or programs I probably have them and
can make the images available to you. I have not powered up the system yet
as I have to test everything first (and am too busy on the PDP-8/S finishing
touches).
