This one is apparently made by Gr Electronics, who were
based in the UK
and in the US.
This is based on the fact that is says 'GR 185-2' on the board.
I searched Google, but I couldn't find any info.
As the housing was loose, I opened it, and it uses an Intel 8048
microcontroller, has 8
character and has a curled cable which has a DB25 connector at the end.
The cable has 7 wires, and when the battery door is opened (this device
get's it power
Sounds like a device that I have seen for doing inventory and stock
checking, db25 could be for a bar code or? Anyway people go up and down the
aisles in markets with them filling in sku and quantity, periodically
docking to download the data into some host.
