What does it adapt it to? Mine has a 5 pin DIN connector and APPEARS to

Yeap, I have a expansion tray too. Mine has a National Instruments
GPIB-PCIIA HP_IB card in it.

Wow, it sounds like somebody just lost their
GRiD-virginity. John H. took
my 1535EXP, so I have to go from memory. It's a 386DX-33 (in a PGA, so
Yes, I actually flew across the country, broke into his house, grabbed the
mag-alloy 1535 out of his hands, repeatedly beat him over the head with it,
and took off. Doug, you're lucky to be alive after all that. :) Maybe
that's why I'm having problems with the sucker! you can upgrade it via Cyrix/TI/etc) with up to
8MB RAM (low-profile
SIPs). I think it wants 16-18V DC, center neg. The empty hole will
accomidate eithe battery or a power supply with an AC plug.
Yep, that sounds about right. It uses the same power brick my GRiDPad 1912
uses. BTW, if anyone needs a keyboard adapter cable for their GRiDPad, let
me know. I have 5 extras. The connector on the bottom of the machine plugs
into a docking tray,
which John H. also took and I think was trying to sell last time I
checked. (John, are you there?)
I'd rather trade it to someone who can really use it. Even if it works, I
don't really have a use for it, and the 1535 w/8mb is a very usable machine
even without the tray.
GRiD 1535 BIOS Date: 1989, slightly under the 10 year mark, but these are
such extrordinary machines!
Yeap, they grow on ya, don't they!
