Tandberg TDV-2114 and TDV-2124 are computers from Tandberg. From this thread[1], the TDV-2114 is identical to the Siemens 6.610 (OEM version). Extensive docomentation exists[2]
Tandberg TDV 2324
Regarding the TDV 2324 computer: it could run CP/M or TOS. TOS was Tandberg Operating System and we used it when developing the TDV 2200 series terminals. I don’t remember much of it but it did not have a filesystem with folders. All files lay flat. My first 2324 did not have a hard disk just two floppies. The first floppy had the TOS OS, the second floppy contained the terminal source code and compiled files. A EPROM burner was connected and for some terminal sw there was some messing with addresses to get the sw correctly to the eproms.
Timeline for Tandberg terminals and computers, from [3]:
A bit of history, the evolution of these machines is something like this: * TDV-2000 (197?) - First terminal * TDV-2114 (1976) - First computer (8080-based, 16-56KB RAM, TDV-2115 terminal hardware-module built-in) * TDV-2124 (1980) - Same as TDV-2114, but with double-side double-density disk support. 56KB or 64KB RAM? (not sure if all 64K on the RAM board is available) * TDV-2324 (1982) - Completely new design, 8085-based, 64KB RAM, HDD support, fully backwards-compatible with 2100-series
Tools
Various tools that might be useful.
- pdfsandwich - can OCR PDF files and add text layers to the PDF file.
ND Hardware
Stian Sletner's Norsk Data notes on WTFwiki, about a ND-5400ES.
- 2016-10-18
- it looks like it was a problem that has been fixed. WTFwiki now has an IPv4 address again, and archive.org has a copy of the two pages about the ND machine (because of manual effort by another member here).
- 2016-10-04
- looks like WTFwiki is gone now, and archive.org doesn't have a copy.
- correction - it is available, but only via IPv6.
ND Software
System Software Of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Control system[4]
Other links
The terminals wiki, created by three collectors of vintage computer terminals.
The Norwegian State Railway System GTL (1976)[5], [6], [7]
3 tips for effectively using wikis for documentation.[8]
Things Every Hacker Once Knew[9] by Eric S. Raymond. About video display terminals, EIA RS-232-C, ASCII and more.
Tape reel data recovery from MERA-400 polish computer[10]. Interesting article about effective ways for data recovery from old reel computer tape.
noteshrink - a tool (written in Python) to convert scanned color PDFs into better PDFs. Worth checking out.
Frederic (Norwegian) - a Norwegian owned computer from 1957 (ordered in 1953).
