Even if its an ND-100 Satellite, it seems it uses the same chassis as the ND-110 Satellite.
In this case its the Model 14 chassis.

A sales document with more details for the ND-110 Satellite can be found here http://norsk-data.com/library/libsales/ND-SID019-A1-NO.pdf

 SYSTEM NO: 16796

== TODO ==
* Some basic cleaning as the system has been standing since the 90's {{done}}
* Document all serial and model numbers on devices.{{done}}
* Image the MFM disk before attempting a boot. {{failed}} Drive unreadable.
** Heads was stuck, had to "unstuck" them using a chopstick ref https://www.pdp8online.com/rd53/rd53.shtml
** Using MFM_READ tool and the MFM emulator I tried to dump the disk, but was unsuccessful due to "Bad sectors" on (almost) all cylinders
** Tested using ND program DISK-MM (DISK Media Maintenance - Version: C03 - 1990-06-11) 
*** Connected the drive to another ND machine (ND-110 Compact) to run MFM test programs
*** Reported "NOT ON CYLINDER" when the heads was stuck, but after it changed to "Address mismatch" - sadly no data can be retrieved at this point
*** Doing seek-test shows that the heads move freely across all cylinders. Can see that because the disk is opened, and I can visually inspect the head movements.
* Check the power supply condition {{in progress}}

== History ==
: 2024-08-18: Tried to image the MFM HDD, but failed - disk unreadable
: 2024-08-18: Started going through the system, documenting it and basic cleaning in preparation for getting it up.
: 2024-08-17: System donated to me from Håvard Sten
