I find the cluster of recent postings about Data General curious: this, plus https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33798316 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33793837 I also find it gratifying: I worked on 16- and 32-bit Eclipses, and perhaps even a Nova or two in the late 1980s. Once at a customer's site I saw an old blue-and-white MV/8000, on which the sysadmin/programmer said they had run production on one shift while recompiling the older programs on another. (Blue-and-white: the old 16-bit line of DG computers had a blue-and-white color scheme, the 32-bit line had brown cabinets.)
