Ooh Norsk Data. How was it?

• rbanffy 5y ago
  Not sure about the software, but the hardware was gorgeous. I have an eBay alert for the "Norsk Data" and "Nordata" strings.

    Some are stored throughout Norway. If you're willing to maintain it well you might find a donor in. Norway. http://www.sintran.com http://www.sintran.com

      There are a few collectors in Sweden too.

      NTNU's computer museum has quite a number of Norsk Data machines, but they are unfortunately not accessible to the public.

  > How was it? Good times! Ergonomic terminals, hamacas, happy hour on Fridays, smoking at the desk, SINTRAN ... To clarify, this wasn't in Oslo but in Kiel, North Germany, where they had a co-op with Christian-Albrecht-Uni for compilers (other than ND's own PLANC language), and also developed a system for public libraries.

    Sounds great thanks for the insight :)

    LI-FI,,, It's sad how the ND-100/500 (and 5000+) families have almost completely disappeared, including online material about them. The IT department at my university was involved in NDIX development (BSD for ND-5000), I believe. This was a few years before my time so I didn't get first-hand exposure to that. I do regret not holding on to one of the Compact ND-100/110s that we had around in the late 90s, nor any of the Tandberg terminals that we had huge numbers of.
