Nova was the first and still the only weather station and ET prediction computer I have ever had. Still works great and never had a need to upgrade. I tried to find Nova about 3 or 4 years ago and could not! Don't know if they’re still in business. The closest thing I could find to them is I Family Software I think there in PA. They have in the past and my still use the same “Sharp” calculator that the Nova used and they may be able to help. Here's the link http://www.ifamilysoftware.com/

If you need the instructions for the Nova I have them in my computer and can email you a copy. It been awhile since I replaced the battery but I don't remember having to reprogram. I believe all the info/programming is stored in the prom chip on the back of the Sharp calulator.

Bert, I have used Family software for the past 17 years. The guy is great to work with and has a sharp mind. Contact him and I am sure he will try to help you.
