Back in old times, I was a user of ND machines, Sintran III, Tandberg terminals (I even did repairs) and more. Later I was also a System Operator of ND machines. These days, I am the proud caretaker of a working ND-Satellite/9. You can read more about it on my worklog for the machine: ND 900-135.

The ND-100/CX worklog is here: ND 3392-1669

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.

2010-11-29: 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

2011-09-23: Today I got a ND-100/CX Compact machine and a Tandberg TDV2200/9 terminal delivered to my apartment! Thanks!. The key switch on the panel is broken, hard drive drive doesn't seem to work, and I don't have any 5.25 inch ND floppies, but I am still very happy.

2011-10-10: More testing of the ND-100/CX today. The hard drive doesn't respond at all - perhaps the motor isn't spinning at all?
