This past Saturday at a local retro meetup, it was announced there was
still at least 1 open spot for a speaker/presentation at VCF SW (Dallas)
this June.
Just passing the word, if anyone is in the area at that time and interested
to speak on a topic vintage-computing related. There should be a signup
at the VCF SW page.
Been messing around with a GRiD system recently - I'm not seeing a solid
archive of things like PDFs and ROMs for that system. And I've heard a
rumor there used to be one, but it went offline a few years back?
Mostly I'm looking for GPIB related info, and maybe either native GRiD
drivers or some compatible MS-DOS drivers to use the GPIB port on that
system.
Here some images and reference info of what I've learned so far about a
late-model (but before Tandy) GRiD system...

I'm also hunting around for one of those GRiD disk drives, if there is any
spare standalone one not bundled with another existing system.

I was curious and had a spare benjamin for one of these from eBay,
thinking it would be a handy USB to SCSI adapter for convenient
imaging of old drives, as it was mentioned as one a month or two
ago on the Reddits.
I'd like to find a manual and hear anecdotes. Mine is a model T4,
has USB 2.0 and Firewire 800, circa 2005. I was surprised to see
they were made in New Berlin, WI. I don't see any mention of
this model on their web site https://digitalintelligence.com/
nor any mention of "ultrablock" in my CCtalk archives.

Can anyone here tell me what tool I can use to create
DSK, DMK or IMD files from files with the extensions
"raw" and VOL? I am once again trying to get the CPM
Adaptable System for UCSD Pascal to work on an emulator.
I would also like to try and get the PDP-11 version of
UCSD Pascal running again and that requires the same
ability.
