ND-100 CX serial 657 is an early machine. The serial number plate still uses the NORD-100 name even though it says ND-100 CX on the cabinet. It belonged to the Hordaland Fylkeskommune in Bergen, Norway and it has probably been sitting in the same storage room for most of it's life.

A long wait in the corner of the storage.

My guess is that The CPU has been replaced with a ND-110CX 32B CPU some time along the line.
