Well darn.
Anyway, I can direct you to a source for install media and
keyboard/mouse. Call Computer Parts Barn in Asheville, North Carolina.
The proprietor there has a ton of DG stuff including Aviion gear. He'll
be able to help you if anyone can. The number should be (828) 274-5963.
The name is Ed Kirby. He's a little hard to get to know, but he's a nice
guy and I swear by him.
IIRC, the Aviions generally ran a version of DG/UX which is DG's version
of Unix. There might be a version of AOS for it as well, but I'm not
sure on that score.
There were two kinds of Aviion (Nova in reverse if you didn't know).
There was a Motorola 88k CPU-based version (sometimes multiprocessor),
and an Intel version. The Intel versions are the latter.
Regards,
Jeff
