Rescued: Data General Nova Boards

[Bruce Ray]

G'day Jeff -

Our our expanding Data General museum has been promised a Nova 2 system that
is currently in Mexico which
has a COI Linctape system.  The computer was working until several years ago
in a production control facility, and the
D-10632 board might be just the thing to help us restore this promised COI
unit.
