George, thanks. If the Nova 4 Jr. CPU is marked 'DCG JR. CPU' in the front right-hand corner (and it's a pretty good bet), then that's probably what I have and I'll confirm by looking for those memory chips.

Am I right in thinking that the console terminal connection is made through pins on the backplane as there is apparently no socket on the board for this purpose ?
