Machines we cannot confirm¶

Names that appear in one source and nowhere else. Kept so they are not silently dropped, and so nobody has to rediscover the gap.

Each of these needs one document to become a real machine. None has one yet.

NORD-4¶


Source	A folder name in the sintran.com mirror: `01-NORD-1 NORD-4`
What we have	The folder name. That is all
Contains	Only NORD-1 manuals - nothing named NORD-4
Status	Someone at some point expected NORD-4 documents to exist


Source	Norwegian Wikipedia's machine list, one line
What we have	The name, in a list, with no description
Checked	No ndwiki page exists for it
Status	May be a real machine, may be an error in a list


Source	`Reference-Manuals/10/NORD-10-Design-Goals.md` [P] - a primary ND document
What it says	"The NORD-2U was introduced in 1971. This computer provides very fast interrupt handling and is very well suited for data communications, multi-computer applications and process control"
The catch	ndwiki's NORD-20 page carries that same description word for word
Status	Probably the same machine as the NORD-20, under two spellings. Not proved


Source	norsk-data.com has a hardware page for it, `hw-nd-380.html`
What we have	A page title: "Norsk Data hardware - ND-380 MF". The page is empty
Status	The category exists on ND's own archive site; the content was never filled in


Source	Both Wikipedia articles, one sentence each
What they say	Built at Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, Kjeller, 1962-67. Said to be the basis for the NORD-1
Status	Not Norsk Data machines - they predate the company. FFI, not ND, would hold any documents

Machine	What to look for
NORD-4	Any ND document numbered in the 01 or 04 series naming it
NORD-9	Anything at all beyond the one Wikipedia line
NORD-2U	An ND price list or product sheet using both names, or either name alone
ND-380 MF	The ND-380 documents the empty page was made for
SAM / FLINK	FFI's own archives, not ND's
