Data General microNOVA MP/100, MP/200
Data General Desktop Generation Model 10, Model 20, Model 30 or Model 40
Data General MV Series (all)
GE Calma (DG Based) Systems
Data General Peripherals (Disk, Tape, Winchester and SCSI)
Data General Terminals (6012, Dasher, etc)
Data General Cabling (Bulkhead and Paddle board cabling etc)
Spectra Logic Controller (SMD/Pertec) for Data General Systems
