Nord-5
Nord-5 was Norsk Data's first 32-bit minicomputer and is believed to be the first 32-bit minicomputer.[1] Introduced in 1972, the Nord-5 was categorised as a "superminicomputer", described retrospectively as a "technological success but a commercial disaster", eventually being superseded in 1983 by the ND-500 family.[2] Initially described as a larger version of the Nord-1 to compete with the UNIVAC 1106 and the IBM System/360 Model 44,[3] the machine used a Nord-1 as its front-end console processor, which ran the majority of the OS.[citation needed]
