			: 2025-08-30: Machine will suddenly no longer start up. Seems there is some issues with power supply or keylock, same issue as I had and fixed n 2024-10-03. But thus time I am unable to get power back.

	: 2024-10-03: Trying to identify signals from the HDLC output connector using a scope to find clock signal, but was rather unsuccessful.. maybe I am not expected to see clean digital clock signals - all I could find was somewhat analog. I really need to find some description for where where TX +/- and send clock +/- is supposed to be on the connectors.		: 2024-10-03: Trying to identify signals from the HDLC output connector using a scope to find clock signal, but was rather unsuccessful.. maybe I am not expected to see clean digital clock signals - all I could find was somewhat analog.

	: 2024-10-03: Tried to get ASYNC terminals to work. Unable to find any way to do loopback test with valid results. I might need to re-configure to RS-232 as it may be Current-Loop. Maybe card is defect?		: 2024-10-03: Tried to get ASYNC terminals to work. Unable to find any way to do loopback test with valid results.

			: 2024-10-03: Booted SINTRAN from the MFM HDD emulator. Managed to get MegaLink card to work with XMSG subsystem, but I first had to reconfigure the device address so it became MegaLink #1 (was #5 in the other machine)
			: 2024-10-03: There was one free slot in the machine, marked HDLC. Moved over a MegaLink card from my other machine, and now I could boot from floppy. Ran test programs and things seeem ok. Still some strange results in CONFIGURE first time I run it.
			: 2024-10-03: Tried to boot from floppy, but system just hung. Seemed like INTERRUPT or IDENT signals somehow got lost.
			: 2024-10-03: Opened the keylock and managed to get power to the system. Inserted back all the cards, one by one, and no smoke signals. Got console access.

			Even if its an ND-100 Satellite, it seems it uses the same chassis as the ND-110 Satellite.
			In this case its the Model 14 chassis.

			A sales document with more details for the ND-110 Satellite can be found here http://norsk-data.com/library/libsales/ND-SID019-A1-NO.pdf

			** Heads was stuck, had to "unstuck" them using a chopstick ref https://www.pdp8online.com/rd53/rd53.shtml
			** Using MFM_READ tool and the MFM emulator I tried to dump the disk, but was unsuccessful due to "Bad sectors" on (almost) all cylinders
			** Tested using ND program DISK-MM (DISK Media Maintenance - Version: C03 - 1990-06-11)
			*** Connected the drive to another ND machine (ND-110 Compact) to run MFM test programs
			*** Reported "NOT ON CYLINDER" when the heads was stuck, but after it changed to "Address mismatch" - sadly no data can be retrieved at this point
			*** Doing seek-test shows that the heads move freely across all cylinders. Can see that because the disk is opened, and I can visually inspect the head movements.
