Hi Pontus!
First and not least, I will share any information I have.
Can you pass this reply on to Bjarni too? I don't have his address.
We have started on a wiki at
http://www.gnyrf.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page where we collect
information. We have a documentation list, a list of test software we
extracted from a test floppy and other bits of information. We also have
the current source release of the emulator software. We have plans to
move the wiki to a dedicated domain and only deal with Norsk Data
computers... probably within a couple of weeks so this announcement is a
bit premature.
:-)
We also have a mailing list for discussions about the emulator and
general ND questions.
https://www.gnyrf.net/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi
Both the mailing list and the wiki has to be approved by Roger...
probably a revenge on cctech, he has tried to subscribe twice but never
got any response.
I have contacted both Tore and Jonny but haven't got any response yet.
If you could make a list of which documentation you have I could add it
to the documentation list, if it's okay with you. If we don't have the
documents online it is still a good thing to have a list of where you
could find a copy.
Sorry, no SINTRAN media. We have it installed on the satellite and on
the two ND100 but neither has been up for a couple of years. Sometime
next month I will try to start up the satellite and make a binary copy.
I have a QnD program to extract files from a binary image of a floppy,
it will probably work on a disk image too with some work.
We have got some simple programs and 32 test programs extracted from a
ND test disk, but that's about all in software way.
I'm out of town this weekend and will be off the net from friday morning
until monday evening.... :-O
If someone have problems with joining the mailing list or registering on
the wiki, let me know and I will pass it on to Roger.

Hi!
I'm looking for ND-100 information. A couple of my friends have
started to work on a ND-100 emulator and it is progressing fast...
fast to a point where we are lacking information about the inner
workings of the ND-100 CPU.
Specifically we are looking for information on the real time clock
interrupt and micro code programming but other information (manuals,
schematics or programs) is also interesting.
I currently have the following manuals that I'm transforming into
pdf:s as time permits.
* ND-06.007 BIG MULTIPORT MEMORY SYSTEM
* ND-06.014 ND-100 REFERENCE MANUAL
* ND-06.016 ND-100 INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM

If you have anything outside of this list please let me know. I will
borrow for scanning, buy or trade anything of interest.
The hardware we got access to is a ND-100 satellite, two ND-100 racks
with disks and 8 inch floppys in parts and a nonfunctional NORD-10 in
a rack. When time permits we will try to get it running.

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.
