Negative, Ghost Rider! The GRiD Compass was released in late '82-early
'83, the first shuttle flight was in 1981. I also have a bulletin that
Otrona released (circa late '84, not long after the release of the Otrona
2001), talking about how another company would take over service &
support since they had gone under & couldn't afford it. It also gave a
brief history of Otrona & the Attache, which the bulletin said they
released in 1981 (Otrona themselves wrote this bulletin, so I'm not
arguing it!).

One even flew on the space shuttle! I suppose
this was before they
changed to GRiDs. Can anyone confirm?
As far as I know, the GRiD Compass went up on the first Shuttle flight.
Or at least, I'm certain it went up before an Attache did, since the
Attache wasn't produced until well after the GRiD was around.
One site puts the Attache at 1984, which sounds appropriate.
