Anybody know where I can get info on these? I picked up 3 of them today,
complete with batteries, but no power supplies or pens (they can be used as
a "flat pad" mode, with a pen, or the screen flips up to reveal the keyboard).
Any info would be appreciated.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a 386, and I think the pen is an
RF type, not sure if it's the kind that requires batteries. The one like
this that I saw with the flip-up screen was labeled AST, but that's because
they bought GRiD. I think they still support them, so if all else fails
maybe you can get pens from them. I'm not sure if it's compatible with
other powered pens like the Dauphin one.
I might be interested in buying or trading for one of them.

Excellent. This implies the dig. tablet is made by Wacom, and maybe
the XFree86 driver will work with it.

See also www.pd.com/GRiD.html (but I can't get there right now, looks like
the site is down).

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.

I use yahoo and found several good sites with info and setup software for
this machine. Also the company that purchased Grid still has spec's and
software for this machine on their website. I just searched using 'grid
2270' John
