ND enthusiast, arsenic digger and basically weird!

After a mammoth move in april 2009 and a donation in august I'm the proud caretaker of

• Twelve ND-110 satellites
• Two ND-100 satellite 9 systems
• A ND-100 compact
• Four ND-110/CX compact
• Two ND-5200 compacts
• A ND-100 in half rack
• A ND-500 with a filestore
• A ND-5700
• A ND-5700 without CPU
• A ND filestore
• Two different tape drives
• A number of different disks
• A ND butterfly
• A whole lot of various cards
• Close to a ton of documentation
• A lot of different software.
• And a large number of terminals

But a collector never gets enough so what I'm looking for right now is :

• More information about the ND-5000 series of computers.
• More CPU:s to upgrade my ND-5700 system.
• A ND-5850 CPU or ND-5800 CPU.
• Hardware information about OWS, also known as the butterfly
• Microcode information for ND-110/ND-120 CPU:s

Some of my ND projects beside this wiki

• Get a satellite up and running and connect it to the internet.
• Make a ND media reader to read old ND-media (floppies, disks, tapes)
• Make an extension to linux to be able to mount SINTRAN III partitions

I made a brief showing at a local lan, Frostbyte 2013, with some of my computers, among other a ND-110 with a notis terminal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIMtinBfVOc

If you are interested in getting a ND system, want to get rid of a ND system or just chat about these computers, feel free to contact me.
