I have not had good luck with the RuGRiD list. I am aware of it.
There are only a small handful of people there with Compass gear; It is
mostly centered around the later PC-compatible GRiD stuff.
There is one fellow with quite a lot of Compass media who has reached out
to me a couple times, but I don't get the drift he sees any urgency in
imaging the media, nor intends to share it. I have offered a hand, money,
etc.
If he does come through, I'll be very pleased, but at this point I am
trying to look elsewhere.
Steve, if you're willing to cross-post my list below and see if you have
better luck, please do.
I have never received a single response of value on that list.

Folks, there appears to be a large GRiD-sized hole where archived copies
of
the Compass Computer Operating System software should be.

There's a fairly active GRiD list at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rugrid-laptop/
You may wish to cross-post there, or I can if you don't wish to join up.

Jut for the record, I took a look, I have a copy of GRID OS 3.1.0 A and
Management tools 3.1.0 on 5 1/4". These are found in the back of my
Managment Tools Reference April 1984

Hi Ian,
This is a little pricey but this came up on Craigslist recently.
http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/sys/5839406174.html
Looks to be lots of documentation but I don't know the seller nor am I even
close by. Maybe a group buy might net the manuals/software. I'd be in for
the Compass 1109 but who knows the condition of the equipment.

I already bought the 1109 and most of the docs :)
It's what prompted my post here.
The docs are great, but there is not much software.
The seller is a good guy, very easy to work with- did a great job letting
me know what's there and what's not.
I passed on any docs I have dupes of.
