This is an incomplete compilation of known hardware and system that was developed by the 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.

Testing electronics at CERN with a NORD-10.

Systems

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

This is a list of boards used in the NORD-10 series computers based on the print number on the circuit board.

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.[18]
