| Updated DG doc
list |
The DG
documentation archive list has been
updated to reflect recent preservation efforts. |
| ECLIX software |
We are trying to obtain any
documentation and/or software for the IPT ECLIX UNIX Version 7 based
software for the 16-bit Eclipse systems. |
| MBC/M software |
We are trying to obtain any
documentation and/or software for the DG MBC/M microNova dedicated
operating system. |
| MICOS software |
We are trying to obtain further
documentation and/or software for the MICOS timesharing system from
Minicomputer Systems in New York. Please contact us at
MICOS@SimuLogics.com if you have
any information regarding these systems. Note that we have just
received some docs from Madison Spring Company. |
| Vendors release
software |
A growing number of software
vendors are releasing software for educational and non-commercial use on
Nova hardware and emulation software. These vendors are to be
commended for their help in preserving the Nova, Eclipse and MV history for
future generations. |
| Finnigan MAT
systems |
New optional features are now
available for reNOVAte/Plus
to run Finnigan MAT IDOS, IDOS II, IDOS III, INCOS and SuperINCOS software
on open systems. Now users may access legacy data, transfer data to
and run IDOS/INCOS/MSDS under open systems. Contact SimuLogics for
further information concerning these exciting new legacy-enhancing features. |
| Custom hardware
access |
A new product is now available to allow
reNOVAte/Plus to
directly access custom user hardware I/O interfaces. Now applications
running on open system PCs may use current custom DG controllers in special
applications without change. Contact SimuLogics for further information
concerning this hardware-enhancing feature. |
| Point 4 archives |
Point 4 corporation has engaged
SimuLogics to archive all remaining Point 4 software and documentation.
This support reflects the official corporate appreciation of the importance
of preserving this part of computing history. Documentation and
software archiving shall occur after the initial inventory and cataloging is
completed, and the Point 4 web pages will be updated accordingly.
The new Point 4 document list is now available
in the Point 4 archive section. |
| MV system
summaries |
A new MV system summary section
has been started! MVs are
forever. |
| Desktop
Generation |
The Desktop Generation systems
now have their own dedicated web
page. |
| Museum Project |
The
"Working DG Museum" Project is officially announced - to restore and
maintain life in legacy Data General hardware and software. |
| NADGUG library
online |
The contents of the entire
NADGUG software library is now
available on-line for downloading. Individual sections or the entire
library may be selected at this expanded web area. |
| F.I.G. Forth
found |
We have obtained a copy of the Forth
Interest Group's FORTH language system for the Nova and have added it to
the software archives. |
| Ex-DG employee? |
Did you work for or with Data
General? Then you may be eligible to join the "Grey Eagles" - the
organization for ex-DG folks. |
| Stupid AOS/VS
tricks? |
This clever
web site
will remind you that you are not alone in the AOS/VS universe - even if it
feels that way sometimes. Robert de Mander proves that not all demented DGers
are in North America, and his web site has many great tutorials, hints and
other items worth visiting.. |
| Wicat
documentation |
Wicat's MCS and the Hare Brain
operating system and 'C' language documents have been added to the list of
manuals now archived. |
| Bit
documentation |
A little known company from
Natick had some interesting multi-byte machines in the late '60s and early
'70s. A new archive page has been started for these systems. |
| Bytronix
documentation |
A new archive page has been
added for these DG look-alike systems. |
| Updated
documentation |
Significant listing updates for
Data General, DCC, DEC and Point 4 [EDS] documentation has been made at
their corresponding archive pages. |
| DG company
startup |
The official news release for
the new DG corporation has been added. |
| DCC lawsuit
added |
Additional information
concerning the DCC lawsuit has been added. |
|
New DG ad
section |
A new
section is now dedicated to
preserving some of the Data General ads from the late 1960s and the early
1970s. Which ones do you remember? |
| MV section
started |
We are starting a new section
dedicated to the MV series, and some
comparison charts are the first items
to be posted.... |
| DG hardware on
PCs? |
SimuLogics is creating hardware that would allow
reNOVAte
to directly use DG I/O hardware controllers. This would mean that
current legacy custom hardware could be used by PCs to help migrate
applications to more modern hardware. The unprecedented hardware,
maintenance, software and business alternatives this would provide makes
this an extremely interesting project.
More on this early next year... [that's less than
a month away(!)] |
| NADGUG ceases
operation. |
NADGUG - the largest Data
General User's Group - officially dissolved on
October, 2001.
SimuLogics will host much of the NADGUG
information in a dedicate area of this web site.
See the story in our NADGUG
section...

| New product! |
A new product was introduced at the NADGUG
2000 conference November 1st for Nova Nostalgics... and it is free!
SimuLogics showed
reNOVAte/J
- a free, full-functioning Nova emulator written entirely in Java as a
tribute to the last 32+ years of Nova influence.
|
| We Need... |
We are searching for many items to preserve and archive. This
expanding list has now been given its own separate page for easier [re]viewing:
wish list.

computer in the late 1960s and early '70s. Some of its documentation
has been added to the archives |
| Bytronix computer
documentation |
Some of this company's
DG-clone documentation has been added to the archives |
| Trivia Quiz |

| Calling all links |
Links to other Data General Nova, Eclipse, Point 4, Bytronix, Strobe
Data, Rolm, UYK-19 and UYK-64(v) -related sites are being sought and
requested. We are trying to create the most complete resource center
possible for those still using, or just remembering, these venerable 16-bit
systems.

Legacy users access modern features. |
Legacy Nova and
Eclipse programs may now access the files, command line and features of the
underlying supporting operating system with the new Native System Interface
for reNOVAte/Plus. |
| ICOS
II and ICOS III |
Finnigan's legacy
MAT system software now runs on open systems with reNOVAte/Plus.
This lets ICOS II and ICOS III files be directly manipulated,
transferred, archived, all on open system platforms. |
|
MP/OS 3.1 |
DG's MP/OS version
3.1 has how been tested with reNOVAte. |
| TCP/IP
access module |
DG serial interfaces may be now
transparently accessed via TCP/IP lines with this new
reNOVAte/Plus option. This will allow TTI/TTO, TTI1/TTO1, ALM, ULM, and USAM devices
to control terminals over any type of network and do other neat
"client/server" stuff. ...All without changing a single byte
of Nova code! |
| Nanos 2.60 |
Nanos 2.60 has how been tested with
reNOVAte.
Both the Nova 4/X and Eclipse S/140 versions of Nanos are now officially
supported. Could DiscOS be far behind? [Thanks, Ira.] |
| MP/AOS |
MP/AOS rev 1.30 and 2.00 have been tested with
reNOVAte.
Yet another under-rated proprietary operating system environment now runs on
open systems.
(Thanks for the support, Dutch.)
|
| Bytronix B5000 EIS |
Support has been added for many of the proprietary Extended Instruction
Set features available on the Bytronix 5000-series computers,
including stack, block move and arithmetic features. |
