Tandberg Documents
TDV 2200 Hardware Manual October 1980, Revision 0
Tandberg TDV-2114 and TDV-2124 are computers from Tandberg. From this thread[1], the TDV-2114 is identical to the Siemens 6.610 (OEM version). Extensive docomentation exists[2]
Tandberg TDV 2324
Regarding the TDV 2324 computer: it could run CP/M or TOS. TOS was Tandberg Operating System and we used it when developing the TDV 2200 series terminals. I don’t remember much of it but it did not have a filesystem with folders. All files lay flat. My first 2324 did not have a hard disk just two floppies. The first floppy had the TOS OS, the second floppy contained the terminal source code and compiled files. A EPROM burner was connected and for some terminal sw there was some messing with addresses to get the sw correctly to the eproms.
Tools
Various tools that might be useful.
- pdfsandwich - can OCR PDF files and add text layers to the PDF file.
ND Hardware
Stian Sletner's Norsk Data notes on WTFwiki, about a ND-5400ES.
- 2016-10-18
- it looks like it was a problem that has been fixed. WTFwiki now has an IPv4 address again, and archive.org has a copy of the two pages about the ND machine (because of manual effort by another member here).
- 2016-10-04
- looks like WTFwiki is gone now, and archive.org doesn't have a copy.
- correction - it is available, but only via IPv6.
