Norsk Data Technostation

All this talk about CAD workstations here got me thinking about the Technostation. My braindump on this is that it was a ND-5xxx-processor (the 32-bit workhorse) with a ND-1x0-processor (16-bit CPU running the OS and I/O), with two gas-plasma displays emulating the standard Tandberg TDV-2215 ( http://toresbe.at.ifi.uio.no/nd-skjerm.jpeg ) terminals, and a large Sony screen displaying the graphics. Just a relatively standard ND server with the custom logic board(s), I guess. It also had a special desk, and a cursor pad. Also, by coincidence, I came across this in some old newspapers I was going through (Norwegian!) http://toresbe.at.ifi.uio.no/technostation.jpeg about a design award it won in Norway, though I guess that's useless unless you're Scandinavian or know how to translate rot13. ;) Anyone know any more about it? I guess it's a shot in the dark. An ex-ND employee told me about some West-German incentive program for high-tech businesses or something which would sponsor the purchase of a TechnoStation. Field technicians would come home almost crying after having placed the machine in moist basements and barns and places like that. :) -toresbe
