Tarverisms from the past:
That is false, even the 777 has a DC generator for each engine

Yep, I checked that when I was a systems engineer at BCAG Everett.

Does Knoyle ever get anything right?

Wrong.

777 has an IDG (AC) and a backup generator (again AC) on each engine.
The backup generator is variable speed, variable frequency (i.e., AC).

I suggest you read ATA 24 of the 777 maintenance manual.

Tarver has said in the past that mainenance manuals are frequently wrong. I bet
he says something similar this time.
