Looking for...
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
- More ND-10 and ND-50 hardware
- A 80 Mbyte CDC SMB cartridge disk to read the media I got
- Paper tape reader / punch
- Card reader / punch
- Peripherals for the NORD-1, like drum memory or NCR 655 disk drive.
- Cartridge drives to be able to read some of my media
Projects
Some of my ND projects beside this wiki
- Get the NORD-1 up and running
- 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
Got some more documentation and software during spring 2016, among other things several versions of SINTRAN III and OWS-related stuff.
Restoration notes
- Many fasteners are DZUS quarter turn quick lock. One source of these are Aeromateriel
