I'm pretty sure that DG never ported DG-UX to the
Nova. There was
a native port to the Eclipse (32 bit). There was also a Eunice-style
Unix environment that sat on top of their native OS, whatever it was
called.
AOS and then AOS/VS for the Eclipse. In the late 1980s and early 1990s
I messed a whole lot with AOS/VS at the university I was at. It was
very much Not Unix. Towards the end of my time there, a number of
programs that traditionally would be on a Unix system, things like
sendmail, ftpd, and etc.. were natively ported to AOS/VS. The ports
were probably done as best as they could have been, but they lacked a
whole lot of ability if I remember things correctly.
After I left, the university acquired a DG of some sort that ran DG-UX
(or DGUX).
