A ND-110 Satellite

Hardware

Hardware in the machine is described in this section.

PCB Cards in the Satellite

The machine is probably a model 9883 model T9 as it has:

  • 2MB RAM
  • 125 MB SCSI DISK
  • Streamer tape (125 MB QUIC)
  • 9 Interfaces for terminal/printer

A sales document with more details for the ND-110 Satellite can be found here

Switch settings

CPU 3095

  • 8J - baud rate switch - 7 - 9600 baud (standard)
  • 28J - ALD switch - 9 - ALD reg I12 = 21560B, Mass load 1560B, comment: "SCSI controller 1, only available on the ND-110/120 CPU"

Devices

  • Floppy drive : 5 1/4" (potentially 1.2MB)
  • Tape streamer : Tandberg TDC 3640
  • Hard drive : MICROPOLIS 1375 (125 MB)


CPU

The CPU is an ND-110/CX with 32 bit floating point running Microcode version 14

This can be seen by the label on the EPROM's for the Microcode

  • 37932L
  • 37933L

L means version 12 as L is the 12th character in the alphabet, but decimal 12 is 14 octal (latest known version is version 14/L). 32 (in the 37932L label) means 32 bit floating point.

For more information, check out the [3095] PCB documentation

Power Supply

  • Wiener DN 01, 390 W

Connectors

  • Power connector : [1] C16 type C16
  • Power cable [2]
  • Console connector : DB25F

Labels

On the devices

On the front of the cabinet (behind the front door)

  • printed label above tape streamer / floppy drive
LOGNR
 9021
  • Norsk Data ID LABEL at the bottom
CAB./ASSY NO: 1.1
FUNCTION: SATELLITE 
SYSTEM NO: 9800/20922

TODO

  • Some basic cleaning as the system has been standing since the 90's DoneDone
  • Document all serial and model numbers on devices.DoneDone
  • Image the SCSI disk before attempting a boot. DoneDone Spins up, and was easy to image using ZuluSCSI (somehow the BlueSCSI2 was unable to identify the drive)
  • Check the power supply condition DoneDone

Operating System

  • SINTRAN III - VSX/500 K
  • XMSG is configured
  • The password for user SYSTEM is set to 0 (?) or is it empty?

XMSG Remote

  • ND-5200 2105 (*DSSYSTEM, *IDSYSTEM)
  • JUSTIS 2092

X25

  • Datex-P X.121 - 4561214123
    • 45 Country code → Norway
    • 61 Network identifier → DATEX-P (historically Televerket / Telenor)
    • 214123 - Network internal (Subscriber/NUA)
  • X25 was using HDLC1 controller logical 1360

History

  • Based on timestamps on the disk, the system was probably first time configured 28. June 1988.
  • Last time booted: USER SYSTEM ENTERED AT 11.59.52 21 AUGUST 1992

2026

2025-01-25: Machine arrived. Started with taking some photos and getting access to the SCSI drive for disk imaging.
2025-01-25: Tried first with BlueSCSI2 (https://bluescsi.com/) but it didnt manage to identify the SCSI drive.
2025-01-25: Then used the ZuluSCSI (https://zuluscsi.com/) which was able to image the drive in less than 3 minutes.
2025-02-01: Tried to boot the SCSI image on the RetroCore emulator. It seems that the CPU type and CPU number for the OS does not match the ND-110 SATELLITE, but a ND-500 COMPACT
