Previous projects
Soft100
Soft100 is a program, an emulator, developed in order to run Norsk Data ND-100 programs on Macintosh (Classic). The program was developed and marketed by Semafor.
HamboHus ran using Soft-100 on the Mac before it was translated into native code.
OrbitTerminal
OrbitTerminal simulates Tandberg 2200/9 terminals (Norsk Data model) on the Macintosh. It was originally developed by Hambo AS and sold as HamboTerminal around 1985. Later, the rights were transferred to Orbit Creative Computing AS, which also developed Jonathan, and finally transferred to Semafor. Many copies of the program were sold, making it a substantial success in the 1980s.
Jonathan CAD System
Jonathan CAD System and Jonathan Draw were developed by Orbit Creative Computing AS at the end of the 1980s. The programs were drawing programs with 2D and 3D functionality. They made maximum use of the technology available at the time - with exact drawings based on real numbers.
Semafor's developers were employed by Orbit and were the main developers of Jonathan. After they formed Semafor, development continued for a time on a consulting basis.
