NORD-50 Serial 37

NORD-50 Serial number 37 came to me from the Dalby datormuseum. I picked it up in August 2018. I will add to the history later on.

Judging from the dates on a random card, the computer was built in 1976.

Configuration

The system is equipped with...

• Two crates of Big Multiport Memory
• ... more when I have had time to go over the system

Missing parts and damages

The side panels are missing.

Current status

Still sitting in the car, just picked it up.

Plans

I will go through the system and clean it up. I also have to go through the cards to check that none is placed in the wrong slot. Then I need a NORD-10 to connect to as an interface. It will probably take some time before I can even contemplate to run this machine.
