ND-100-Satellite-9 Serial 900.11
ND-100 Satellite 9, serial 900.11 is the first model of the Satellite series. This might have been a machine originally bought by Vattenfall AB. It has not been started in years and is probably missing some boards.

Future plans
- Make an in depth analyze of the system, check which cards are installed, check the cabling to find out which cards once were installed and if I got spare, add the missing cards to it.
- The hard disk is in locked position, adding a note here to not forget unlocking it.
- Test the hardware, especially the hard disk.
- See if I can use any of my spare 8" floppy drives and install it.
- If the disk is working, make an image of it and extract the system password.
I will try to put this system and it's twin into working order some time in the future. There will be metal parts missing so I need to do some fabrication to get it perfect.
