I'd like to add a number 6030 dual 8" floppy drive to my Nova 3/12. I already have a 6045 hard drive and its controller (both of which I'm still debugging), and the documentation I have states that the 6030 can be mixed with 6045 drives on the same bus. So, I'd like to find a 6030 drive unit in good physical condition, even if it needs some repair. I'd also like to get whatever cable I'd need to plug the floppy unit into the interface chain after the 6045 drive. If the cable can't be found, then I hope that I can at least get enough details about it from somebody who has one to let me fabricate one.

I'm also curious about any other interesting peripherals that I might add to my Nova 3/12, as well as original printed technical documentation that's relevant to my system. Disk packs for my 6045 drive would also be nice, especially if they have interesting contents. What does "interesting" mean? I don't know yet. If you have some excess Data General Nova stuff, please speak up!

I'm located in southern California.
