the crown
jewel of the collection was definately (IMO :) a NORD-10/S minicomputer
with a 9-track Pertec rebrand tape drive. /S means "With various
enhancements, like cache" in Norwegian. Terse language, you see. :P
Nice going :-)
That reminds me, a little update. I'm making progress on getting hold of
the ND100 machine. There's a little pressure on getting the docs soon as
they're in someone's way, but the machine itself is safe and sound where
it is at present. Actually, it's on a tiny island in the middle of a
river... getting it off the island is going to be interesting. I've not
done a water rescue before :-)
