Tandy would be a better source for the information than GRiD since the GRiD
company is barely related to the old company.
But, I tried Tandy also... No luck. You can probably order another screen
from them but, forget getting information. I even
bought the Technical
Manuals on my 1530 and I must say they are pitiful!!!
There's about three
schematics in it (and they are just pin-outs for things like the SERIAL
PORTS! Nothing useful.) If I needed to know which bit to set in the drive
controller to make it catch fire, I would be in business but, hardware-wise
the tech. manuals are useless. My suggestion, find somone with a broken
GRiD and sell/give it to them.
Try the GRiD board:
http://www.pd.com/gbmain.html
I went through the same exercise after finding that
their connector was
different from the "standard" dot martix displays they listed, or some other
obvious deviation from the norm. I got nowhere. I checked with GRID, since
they were still alive then, and, likewise, got nowhere.
