Thursday was a good day. Picked up a minty fresh Apple IIe with
the 80-column vid card, and three different GRiDs.
I know something about GRiD, but would like to do a little more
research. Any pointers? One is a Gridcase 1550 (the tank with the
little roller bar instead of the trackball) which has a bad screen,
unfortunately; a GRiD 386 (similarly-built tank that has a good
screen and is happy to boot); and a 486 convertible with a good
copy of Windows for Pen and a working pen. Very, VERY well-
built little(!) units.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I also like the Grid portables, they look really solid, very classy for a
PC product. My understanding is that they disappeared into Tandy, or at
least had some common models. I just added a 1750 or 1755 to my collection
last weekend, as is often the case without a power supply. If a Hell does
exist I am sure I will be spending a lot of time digging in boxes and
trying to read the worn off characters from the backs of AC adapters.

There is a quite a bit of support for Grid on the web.
Rob's Gridboard (bbs) http://www.pd.com/gbmain.html
GRid Rugged/Tempest Laptops http://www.netmagic.net/~clare/GRiD.html
Support for Grid computers still exists: http://www.grid.com/
Hope this helps.

Tandy made a bunch of the GRiD machines and they should still have info
and software on their http://support.tandy.com/ site.
