Have DG AV530s, need media/docs

I've recently come into posession of two working Data General
AViiON AV530 workstations, and an as-yet un-tested AV410.
Copyrights on the PCBs indicate a 1990 provenence so I think
I'm okay WRT list rules... ;^)

First question: Anybody have bootable media that they could
        see fit to duplicate or loan? None of the BSDs seem
        to have made it to the DG m88k boxes, though many
        people have asked and some work has been done.
        (Last time I checked was a while ago, though...)

Second: Anybody have docs for this model, paper or 'lectronic?

Third: The AV530s are dual-capable - can I just pull the CPU from
        one AV530 and pop it on top of the connector blocks
        on the other AV530? Wouldn't mind hearing from someone
        before I discover the answer myself via a smoke test...
        There are jumpers that are labeled clearly WRT running
        sinle- or dual-processor, but is there anything else I
        need to know?

Thanks,
--Steve.
