Hardware list
This is an incomplete compilation of known hardware and systems that were developed by Norsk Data AS. The list contains both systems, boards and single items mentioned in documentation and other places. Links to online resources, references and to where hardware is located will also be included.
There have been several (at least two) ways of numbering products so there might be some overlap between lists. An early standard used two to four digit codes for product numbers. For example :
- ND 69 a 64 kbyte cache memory for NORD-500
- ND 511 a 10 Mbyte cartridge drive
- ND 1100/S a NORD-10/S BASIC system
For more see the list of 2 digit, 3 digit and 4 digit product codes.
Later on it seems the product numbers were turned into six-digit codes, for example :
For more, see the List of 6 digit product codes.

NORD-1 Series Boards
(Main article NORD-1 boards)
There is a lot of different boards used in the NORD-1 computer. Most are numbered with a three digit code starting at 101 and at least going up to 504. The NORD-1 was one of the first computers to be constructed of integrated circuits instead of transistors. Almost all of the boards are built with the 74-series IC:s.
NORD-10 Series Boards
(Main article NORD-10 boards)
When the NORD-10 was designed the quality and professionalism shows off, solder mask, silk screen and a more compact design. The boards now have a print number and a product number. The known print numbers goes from 1001 to 1932 while the product numbers are in the range of 322000 to 322437.
NORD-50 Series Boards
(Main article NORD-50 boards)
The NORD-50 CPU is made up of three crates with a total of 82 cards. Many of the cards are the same so there are only 26 different cards. The cards are numbered from 1500 to 1532.[17]
