Data General Hardware Documentation
Data General utilized a systematic code to uniquely identify each individual document or part. This "Product Number" is typically an 11-digit number which has a format similar to this example:
| Prefix | Item Number | Suffix |
|---|---|---|
The Prefix is a three (3) digit number that indicates the general class of a document or part. In the example above the '001' prefix indicates that this number refers to a schematic.
The Item Number is a six (6) digit number that uniquely identifies the particular item. The '000088' in the example indicates a Nova 1200 CPU schematic.
The Suffix is a two (2) digit number indicating the revision level. The '15' in the example indicates the 15th revision of the schematic.
The following table lists common Prefix codes and classes:
| Prefix | Description |
|---|---|
| Schematics | |
| Wire lists for cables, plugs and interconnection wiring | |
| Installation data sheets and configuration drawings | |
| Technical reference and programming manuals | |
| Technical manuals | |
| Illustrated Parts List | |
| PCB artwork |
The Wild Hare archives reflect the DG product numbering scheme whenever possible. Document filenames start with the corresponding Data General product number and follow with a text description or title. Different source copies of the same document are all preserved, and are given a 3-digit numeric suffix (i.e. "000", "001", "002", etc.) for uniqueness. Poor quality originals or copies of documents are indicated with a '.c' suffix, and partial documents are indicated with a '.p' suffix.
