to get these from you to add to the archives

Hmm, that'd be useful.
We've still got an ND-100 arriving at some point
(it's inconvenient for us to take it on right now, plus for the owners to
move it from the island it lives on right at this time!) but I have no idea
what docs it'll come with. Some online ND-100 stuff would be useful!
I'm working on putting up a NORD-10 CPU manual up. I might at some point
continue my effort. I had no scanner, and a bit of spare time (OK, too
much of it... Plus, I like machine-readable text.) so I typed
significant amounts of it in. It is availible here:
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~toresbe/nd/docs
There will be more on that site soon. (Al, if you want to, by all means
mirror this.) I might easily have made errors in the reading.
I hope to make more docs availible as time progresses. There are the
beginnings of a Norwegian computer history society, and we may be
starting cooperation with some museums with significant collections, but
very limited means. They amongst other things have The Collected
Documentation of ND (including quite a lot internal stuff) and at least
one of each ND machine made. At the founding meeting I'm suggesting we
serve the n.c.h.s. website with an ND machine :)
I have the files ...somewhere... in PDF and the original SXW documents.
The HTML is ever-so-slightly screwed in formatting, especially the
bitfield declarations.
I have a running ND-120/CX. Like the 100, it's completely compatible
with the -10 and the -1. I'm expecting an Ethernet board from an ex-ND
friend of mine who still supports them. He's got the board, but most
stuff is
I'm working on getting the ND-120 online, with telnet logins. SINTRAN is
an odd/interesting OS indeed.
