I have now been able to take pictures of the Tandberg TDV-2114 computer. I realized that there were 5 more cardslots on the other side of the monitor, and 4 of those were populated.

The complete list of cards are:
Code:
Floppy disk       K-82885-0 (supports two 8" SSSD drives)
Cluster interface K-92619-2 (Supports seven I/O ports for cluster terminals, three of them seems to have some kind of direct CPU I/O support)
RAM               K-92615-1 (16KB RAM of the Intel B2107B-6 kind)
PROM-CR-PT8       K-92780-2 (has socets for up to 16KB of ROM, curently none of them are being used)
RAM               K-31022-1 (48KB RAM of the HYB4116 kind)
Display 1         K-92647-4 (Monochrome graphics, part 1)
Display 2         K-92651-5 (Monochrome graphics, part 2, contains 4KB of P2102A-2 video memory, 4KB of D3624-4 graphics ROM and a pushbutton to invert the display)
CPU               K-92539-4 (Contains an 8080, 4KB of P2102A-4 RAM, and 4KB of boot ROM.

The last round of pictures:

RIMG0378.JPG = Left card slots with cards
RIMG0385.JPG = Back cover
RIMG0391.JPG = Correct setup
RIMG0387.JPG = System unit without cover

I also ran a test of the system without the CPU card. The result can be seen here (read the descrpiton):

I know its an old thread, but I am finally getting one of these myself.

Additionally, I see that Siemens later released this platform as the 6.600 series. If anyone happens to have any documentation (even if it's in German), I would be very grateful to see it.
 
Hello Per!

I got a message that someone used the disk-images I made many years ago of two 8 inch floppy disks actually booted a TDV-2114 (or Siemens 6600?). Somewhere I think I have some more disks. The content is probably about the same though.

There is a German forum l got directed to for the discussion on this topic: https://forum.classic-computing.de/...39-siemens-6-610-reparatur-geglückt/&pageNo=1

But perhaps you know of this already.

When I saw the pictures of the boards above I sort of recognise them. I think I have a bunch of similar looking boards here if you are interested. I can get pictures of these boards in the weekend. Trade for something interesting...

Yeah, I found that thread shortly after I posted here.

..And please do! I would be very interested if you have spare boards.
 
I have three board that look similar:

Two marked Tandberg and one marked Intel.
