A long time a go, in another universe it seems, I was using Sintran on an ND-100 at our electronics/computer school. We configured and ran the machine after we inherited it from some one.
These days I am a Cloud Architect, Developer and Geek - spending an unhealty amount of time writing emulators.
I have successfully created an ND-100 emulator with peripherals such as TeleType, Floppy and HardDrive. I have successfully dumped and booted SINTRAN version H, although there are still some bugs to iron out.

I have tried booting SINTRAN L. Dumping to HDD works great, but I havent successfully managed to boot the os from HD. Maybe because I am missing some opcodes ?
I am looking for the following
- SINTRAN J to boot - because the source code that has been scanned is SINTRAN J - And it would help me immensely in debugging the emulator.
- Documentation on Memory Management version 2. (MMS-2)
- Other binary images (Tape, PaperTape, HDD, Floppy,+++)
Things I am working on
- I am focusing on getting the ND-10/ND-100 opcodes working 100%
- Test programs that validates the opcodes so far
- ONE—CHECK, TWO—CHECK, THREE—CHECK, FOUR—CHECK (some bugs here still)
- INSTRUCTION-B.BPUN (PROGRAM NUMBER: 204384B DATE ISSUED : 83.11.01)
- PAGING-B.BPUN (PROGRAM NUMBER: 203098B 1982)
- FLOPPY-FU-1986F (All tests work except Test 2 "Format Decoder Test" on my PIO floppy driver)
- Implementing the (semi)missing opcodes
- Floating point 48 bits (doing 32 bits "somewhat correct with bugs" now)
- «Commercial Extended» (CE) option
- ND-110 Specific opcodes (Stack, Segment,)
