Introducing the "Living DG Museum"
The "Living DG Museum" Project is designed to preserve the life of Data General
legacy hardware and software. Various "legacy" 16- and 32-bit computers
and other hardware have been acquired to
date and will be
restored to full working order under this project.
Why are we doing this? Because...
Real blinking lights rule!
This section will be updated as the project
progresses and as the museum's plan evolves. Pictures will be
added to show the "before" and "after" conditions of the restored items.
Also, consider this a perpetual "begging request" for any
hardware,
software, documentation, sales literature and anything else DG! Even if it
is loaned to us for archiving and then returned to you, we wish to preserve the
DG legacy world.
