Data General microNOVA Almost Couldn't Be Fixed

Hello!

After the stream with Usagi and trying to fix the 6039 floppy drive I determined that there must be a problem with the microNOVA itself that was causing my inability to be able to write to memory. The solution to that problem ended up being as much luck as anything else to fix, because one of the custom Data General parts had failed.

The edit for this video didn't go at all how I initially planned it. After the underperformance of the last couple videos I decided that fully scripting this to cut out all the slow parts might be the better option. This condensed the whole journey of fixing the machine a lot. My original plan might have been over an hour long with how much I needed to cover. And the stream VoDs of everything already exist for people who want to see everything. So going harder on the edit seemed like the right move. It still covers every major aspect and goose chase, it's just presented much better. If this style goes over well I'm going to do the next couple videos like this as well.
