I know I've asked about this in the past, butI figured I'd try again:
Anyone have any idea where to track down ROMs for the Grid Compass I or
II (1101 / 1129)? I accidentally formatted my 1129's internal bubble
memory tonight (while intending to format an external floppy) and now of
course it won't boot. (Doesn't seem to want to try booting from the
floppy drive either, unless there's a magical keysequence...)
I'm looking for either CCOS or GRiD's version of MS-DOS, which I believe
were both available as ROMs for this machine. I'm hoping that this
machine will boot from internal ROM, and not just bubble memory
(otherwise I've basically destroyed any chance of running this machine
again...)
I've had very little luck tracking down either software or documentation
for this thing (found a few disk images on Dave Dunfield's site).
TheRuGRiD Yahoo group specializes mostly in later GRiD machines and has
basically no Compass information. Knowing if it's even possible to get
this to boot from a floppy would be useful as well...
Thanks as always,
Josh
