ND-1xx Compact family

The ND-100 Compact family of computer systems is a physical compact computer based on the Compact form factor using a ND-100 CPU. It is designed for usage in offices and is small, quiet and easy to operate. Standard equipment is a floppy disk and usually a tape streamer. The remote error analysis software (Telefix) is available for the ND-100 Compact family.

Hardware implementation
The system is built around a 12 positions ND-100 bus crate. There is a modular power supply and backup battery in the center of the cabinet. In the front there is an operator panel with TELEFIX adapter, a 1.2 Mbyte 5 1/4 inch floppy drive and a Tandberg 45/60 Mbyte tape streamer. One or two hard disks makes up the disk system.

ND-100 Compact
The first ND-100 compact used the same chassis and hardware as the ND-100 Satellite system 9. The cover was made of sheet metal. Later models used plastic covers and physically smaller disks in a different physical layout.

Disk sizes supported are 14 MB, 21 MB, 23 MB, 45 MB and 74 MB.
