INTRODUCTION

The ND-110 SATELLITE is a family of 16-bit minicomputers that are ideal for use in the office environment. Compact and unobtrusive, they are capable of running the established and sophisticated software developed for the ND-100 family of computers, at the same time combining the friendliness and response of a personal computer. Our communication system, ND-COSMOS, allows the ND-110 SATELLITE to be connected to other computer systems: both ND's and other vendors'.

The ND-110 SATELLITE is available in three models, model 13 through model 15.

FEATURES

  • It automatically restarts after a power failure. This is made possible by a battery system included in the configuration.
  • 7-position card rack implemented with standard ND-100 bus system. 5 of these positions are used in a standard basic system, and there are two free positions for memory and for a communications I/O controller (HDLC or Megalink).
  • Each user is provided with 128 KB of logical address-space for programs and another 128 KB for data.
  • A full virtual memory system allows shared-code segments.
  • Up to 16 Mb of physical memory.
  • Both 48-bit and 32-bit floating format are available on the system. 32-bit format is standard.
  • There are 16 priority interrupt-levels in the hardware. The time needed to change a level is 5 microseconds.
  • Single-bit memory errors are corrected, and multiple-bit errors are reported.
  • Mass-storage devices, such as disk and floppy disk, access the memory via the DMA (Direct Memory Access) bus. This off-loads the CPU significantly.
