G'day Mike -

I'm not familiar with those serial number formats -

DG has quite a few different main computer lines divided into the following
major groups:

16-bit Nova
16-bit Eclipse
32-bit MV [also called MV/EClipse]
Motorola 88000-based AViiON systems
now Intel x86-based AViiON systems.

DG was also recently purchased by EMC mainly for its RAID storage line, the
CLARiiON.

We are trying to collect, preserve and archive all DG 16-bit related
hard/soft/doc-ware (www.SimuLogics.com ) and am moving to 32-bit MV
preservation faster than initially intended.

Carl Friend and Chris Kennedy are good resource due to enthusiasm and
experience.

I would need to know more to answer about the model numbers or physical
description to give you better answer...

Bruce
