NORD-1 Serial number 47 was given to me by the school in Gjövik, Norway in the summer of 2016. I think it's been at the school for all of it's life since the only inventory labels on it is from the school. The only documentation surviving is the lists of cards on the inside of the front door. They give a date of summer 1972 as the build date.
The system is equipped with 24 kword of core memory and 8 TTY interfaces. There seems to be an interface to an SMD cartridge disk too.
Some cards seems to be missing and minor damages
Shelf D : * Missing cards on position 27 and 28. -- 27 : 113 I Card reader contr. I have no drawings or extra cards of this one, can be hard to reproduce. -- 28 : 179 Punch buffer There is a drawing of this card in the manuals I got from Tingo, it should be possible to reproduce. Shelf E : * Missing card on position 20. -- 20 : 195 Duplex start stop buffer for TTY 6 There are several cards of this type in the machine, so no problem to reproduce. Shelf F : * Missing cards on position 25 and 26. -- 25 : 185,8 Data ch. M data in -- 26 : 185,7 Data ch. M data out There are one more of card 185 in the machine, so no problem to reproduce. There are a few power supplies missing too but two remains. Probably easy to reproduce. Some switches are broken on the front panel.
Current status
The system resides in the ND-Collection in Umeå. It is not operational yet but there is good hope that I will be able to restore it to running status.
Plans
The system will be put in working order some time in the future. First it will be documented.
