ND-5800 Serial number 5800.258 have spent most of it's life in Luleå in the rooms of LUDD, the local computer club. The previous owner was Ragge. I don't know a lot of the previous history of this system but I will do some research in the future.

The system has been used as a card storage so the cards are pushed in wherever there was place. With it came three CPU:s, two smaller ones and one maxed out Samson CPU

The system was given to me in the spring of 2018.

== Card cage configuration ==
=== ND-100 crate ===
This list reflects the original configuration as well as the current one. At the moment it's been used to store spare cards so the current configuration doesn't make much sense.

==Current status==
The system resides in the ND-Collection in Umeå. It's operational status isn't known and it is standing in a corner. The card crates have been used as storage space so it needs an overhaul to check that every card is in the right spot as well as checking power supplies.

==Plans==
The system will be put in working order some time in the future. First it will be documented.
