Rescued: Data General Nova Boards

Hi, I was at my local uni surplus today (UC Santa Barbara) and found, buried
in a bin of random industrial parts from the chem lab, some Data General Nova
boards.  Here's what I found, if anyone would like to help me identify them
further:

These boards are 15 x 15 inches:

107-000187-12X   Disk Cartridge Controller, DGC Nova
107-000007-02    DGC Nova Extender Board (quantity 2, one with gouged traces)
107-000055-03    DGC D-A Converter Scope Control Card Reader
107-000054-02    DGC General Purpose Interface
107-000151-17-16 DGC Nova Cassette I/O
107-000094-00    DG Nova Compatible Wiring Board (quantity 2)
D-10632-01       Data Channel Linc Tape, CO3000N Option 008

The wiring boards look to be prototyping boards, they are half filled with
soldered sockets and hand-wired components.

These boards are 6.5 x 3.25 inches, and have no obvious plug connectors:

107-000008-01    DGC (no other writing, quantity 2)
These look like prototyping boards also, with rows for sockets and wire wrap
posts on either side.  Each has different components wired up.

I don't have any DG stuff, and it's unlikely I'm going to acquire one in the
near future (still working on my Sun 2/120), so eventually these will go to
someone else.  I'll be leaving Sunday on a trip until Aug 10th, but I'll try
to take some photos of the boards tomorrow or Saturday (if anyone is
interested in them).

Jeff
