Hello.

Great to see som ND-action :)

Personally I don't have any documentation for the ND machines. But we
have some docs and some floppys at the Update computer club in Uppsala,
I could dive into the storage room and see what it is. Burbas, a friend
of mine (bcc:ed on this mail) has some ND-500 docs.

I do have a ND-100/CX Compact in somewhat working condition. Burbas has
a satellite (working) and a ND-500 (semi-working) with the ND-100 frontend.

Another friend, Bjarni (also bcc:ed) has begun work on a 10/100 emulator
and could maybe provide some input to your project.

I guess you know about Tore: http://folk.uio.no/toresbe/nd/
and Jonny: http://www.sintran.com/sintran/sintran.html    (<-- this site
is actually run on a ND-5850)

Last but not least, It would be great if you could share your
documentation as you get it digitized. And if you have any kind of
ND-media (such as SINTRAN :) that would be lovely to, but we could
probably talk more about that off-list.

Kind regards,
Pontus.
