ND floppy catalogue — SINTRAN distribution sets¶
Produced by sweeping all of D:\ND (15,431 files) with ndtool: 1,473
size-candidates, 242 readable NDFS images, 1,231 not NDFS.
Volume labels read <part-no><VERSION><rev>-<lang>-<NN>D, e.g.
250305L07-XX-01D = SINTRAN L, revision 07, diskette 1.
Flags: S contains SINTRAN*:DATA · M contains MACM* ·
A contains an assembler.

D:\ND\S\VSXK1.img (S M) · D:\ND\S\VSXK2.img (A, DMAC-1915F)
K rev 05 — N-250306K05 — 2/2 ✅ not in the carver, 1988-06-08¶
D:\ND\S\N-250306K05--01D.img (S M, SINTRAN:DATA 730,551 B) ·
--02D.img (A) · patch D:\ND\S\N-250306K05-patch.img
J — N-900-188 — 4/4 ✅ not in the carver, three dated releases¶
86-08-04, 86-11-26, 86-12-09 — -I (S M) · -II (S) · -III
(A) · -IV (symbol lists). Plus 4 × ND-PATCH-SIN-J.
H (COSMOS / Satellite-9) — N-900-000 — 3/3 ✅ not in the carver¶
1983-01-07, D:\ND\Frode\Standard Satellite-9 83.01.06 ver H\ — uses the
older MACM-1718K and DMAC-1915E.
N-10-102 — 3/3 ✅ not in the carver¶
Heavily duplicated (15 copies of -I). Canonical: D:\ND\S\DISK3.img,
DISK4.img, DISK5.img. Caution: the -I copies are not
byte-identical — SINTRAN-I:DATA ranges 187,629–194,371 B across dates
1984-11-06 and 1985-12-22, so at least two generations share one label.

Directly comparable to a carve input.
MACM versions in the wild¶
| build | on |
|---|---|
MACM-1718K |
N-10-203-I, N-900-000-I, N-10-102-I |
MACM-1718L |
N-900-188-I, N-220046K03--01D, N-250306K05--01D, N-102-2921-I, 250305L07-XX-01D (40,039 B), 250306M06-XX-01D (39,497 B) |
Note the L and M copies differ in size — they are not the same build.
The standalone D:\ND\BPUN\MACM-1718L.BPUN is a third variant again
(base 0o77120 / 19,273 words, versus the L floppy's 0o76203 / 19,738 words;
both checksums verify).
