Someone had e-mailed me the pinouts for the AST PenExec (aka GRiD
Convertable), but I lost them when my e-mail crashed. Whoever it was,
could you be so kind as to resend them? Thanks!
Also, the GRiD version was available with a 386 (2260) and 486 (2270).
Does anyone know if there were also two AST versions?
Thanks!

I sent the original message to the list rather than to you with the
expectation that the pin-outs would be archived and indexed for posterity.
However, I just checked Kevan's archive:
http://www.heydon.org/kevan/classiccmp/
and it stops at Feb 1998. Is anybody archiving this list?

I've never seen an AST-labeled 486 PenExec, FWIW.

I am, although the archive is not yet publically accessible. I've got
everything since I joined up (forget when that was..) except for a small
hole sometime round the end of 1997, but I definitely have everything past
Feb 1998.

I can probably do keyword searches and locate what you need.

For them in the Bay area, I want to reiterate
that HMR USA is worth a
visit. And good news -- They're going to be open on Saturdays. They're
going to be open M-Th for businesses only, and Friday and Saturday for
individuals. They've got a new web site as well: <http://www.hmrusa.com/>
(with no hyphen.)
They don't seem to go out of their way to tell you their location. Where
are they?

Wow, that's 75 lbs of Toshibas! Let me know if you figure out how to get
to the CMOS battery. There's a weird little compartment with a pull-tab
that looks like a good candidate, but it doesn't want to open (easily) for
me.
Those marked with a * are ones I need info on the
power supply
requirements, especially the PenExec, which uses the same kind of connector
PenExec power pin-out (excuse the bad art):
6 7 8
3 4 5
1 2
1 - ground
2 - external power
3 - ground
4 - battery charge enable (active low)
5 - external power
6 - battery positive current sense voltage
7 - battery negative current sense voltage
8 - battery rapid charge status (active low)
The power supply is labeled 8 - 16V @ 2A.
