Any GRID experts out there? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

6 Dec 1999

I went through the same exercise after finding that their connector was
different from the "standard" dot martix displays they listed, or some other
obvious deviation from the norm.  I got nowhere.  I checked with GRID, since
they were still alive then, and, likewise, got nowhere.

  really not
looking for more projects.

Have you got any interface specifications for this beastie, or do you know
where they might be available? 

I contacted several offices of Hitachi because at the time, I thought my
GRiD was irrepairable.  I can tell you that after spending many corporate
dollars (for my personal project (Thanks, LiteOn!)), if Hitachi has specs
on that beastie, they are not releasing them.  I contacted the division
that handles those displays and though I called them repeatedly, they never
returned any of my calls.

If you can ever find the spec.s, I would sure like a copy!
