Hi folks, I'm looking to buy at whatever price is fair a GRiD Compass (Not the DOS based ones) computer of any model-- and perhaps condition- as I may be able to repair I recently missed an ebay auction, which was sad. Let me know, Thanks, - Ian ----- Background. About a year or so, I purchased my first GRiD compass (1129) off another list member. I quickly gained two impressions: 1) The non MS-DOS based GRiD OS is really freakin' cool. 2) The documentation for these machines is nonexistent. I've recently acquired an 8086 ICE. My goal is to reverse engineer the machine and operating system to a reasonable degree, in order to glean enough information to enable the following tasks: 1) (High priority) Build a somewhat modern toolchain for GRiD OS 2) (This might be something I never get to) Build an emulator of the GRiD. Unfortunately, I don't want to- A) Have to leave my main machine taken apart, or constantly reassemble-disassemble it to attach it to the ICE. B) Develop for a system I have no spares for. Would love if someone who has an extra one of these they haven't used for a while would be willing to part with it or trade for it. In addition to whatever we work out, I'll toss in a free GRiDcase 3 to help with separation anxiety stemming from black magnesium computers. -- Ian Finder (206) 395-MIPS ian.finder at gmail.com
