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

Where do you live, Joe? :)

It's wired differently. It's also got one less pin than a PS/2 connector.
People rewire PS/2 adapters all the time to make it work, but I guess I'm
just too lazy. :)
