history

2010-10-22: I got myself a ND-Satellite/9 machine, two terminals (ND 320 and ND 246), two boxes of floppies (8 inch) and some manuals from a nice fellow in town. Cool!
2010-10-23: it seems like the winchester disk in the ND-Satellite/9 doesn't want to play. Everything powers up, and the drive is spinning, but I get errors when trying to read from it.
2010-10-24: my contributions to this site (if any) can be licensed under any license Mike wants to use. Torfinn 15:45, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
2010-11-29: The ND-Satellite/9 boots SINTRAN III again; this is the first time since I got the machine.
2010-12-03: The machine now boots straight into SINTRAN III (from hard drive) when powered on. Yay!
2010-12-03: I tested and verified the (serial) terminal ports on the back of the machine. Terminal 48 - 51 (ports 6 - 9) are set to current loop, and all works. Terminal 36 - 39 (ports 2 - 5) are set to RS-232, but only terminal 38 and 39 are working
