    For Anyone Who Wants To Get A GRiD Bag For Their GRiD System

    Interesting information! I only have GRiD 1660s, so I have the first bag. In addition to the 1720, 1750, 1755, 1755 486/SLC and possibly the 1810, it also fits the 1660 and 1680 perfectly. It's made by Koszegi in South Bend, Indiana.

    We need something better than cards for retro PC HD Drive Replacement

    It sounds like CF cards aren't reliable in the same way that hard drives are. I really like hard drives...

    California Seeking the Perfect CRT Monitors: Offering a Rare Trade Opportunity!

    How unlucky. A while back I had three competent monitors (can't remember the brand, maybe Phillips), but it was a tough sell, selling them as a group. I thought it was nifty but no one local did. And can you imagine how much three Trinitron G400s in good working condition would cost? I'll keep...

    Toshiba T3100/20 Boot Issues

    The difference is between the T3100/T3100/20, and the T3100e. I'll look for it, but I believe I sold my T3100!

    Midwest Liquidating collection: 5150, Мастер, TI-99, Hyundai 286, DEC Pentium PC, RS/6000, Televideo 910, others

    Do you have a keyboard with a layout like this and an RJ11 connector? Probably no brand, but it's for various heath, zenith, and morrow terminals.

    Looking for info about existing models related to the GRiD 1660

    There is apparently a Panasonic CF-580 on Etsy of all places: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1338492780/vintage-panasonic-cf-580-laptop-untested however, I'm not sure I want to extend my collection that far. I kind of like my L shaped model coverage. Note of the existence of the 3830SL/C...

    Looking for info about existing models related to the GRiD 1660

    I have finally acquired a Panasonic CF-480! Still can't find an Ast version, or a DEC version of the 1680. I think I'm near the end of the existing models, though. I found that the German wikipedia contains info about the Siemens models...

    Wanting to buy GRiD 1660C, 1680, 1680C, or Panasonic CF-480

    This may be the final update to this thread! I have collected all the related GRiD models, and nearly all the related models in general. I recently found a reasonably priced 1680 on eBay, and then I found what was previously the most difficult to find, a CF-480: It has the same plagues that...

    Can the wrong keyboard type damage a terminal?

    The Morrow MDT-60 uses the same keyboard as the Zenith Z-29, Z-39, and Heathkit H29, and it's a pretty specific keyboard. I'm using one on my Z-39 right now. If that helps you find schematics or information about the way the keyboard works. I know it's pretty intelligent, it basically...

    Looking for manuals for Heathkit/Zenith H-29 / Z-29 serial terminal.

    I can only speak for the keyboard, but the Morrow MDT-60 uses the same keyboard as the Z-29, Z-39, and H29, and it's a pretty specific keyboard. I'm using one on my Z-39 right now.

    Looking for info about existing models related to the GRiD 1660

    I found that the Siemens-Nixdorf variant is PCD-3Nsl for the base model equal to the 1660, and PCD-4NCsl for the 1680C equivalent with color and a 486. The PCD-4NCsl follows the "reference design" very closely. The PCD-3Nsl, on the other hand, is interesting - it's the only variant of them all...

    Looking for info about existing models related to the GRiD 1660

    I have acquired a GRiD 1680C! No update besides that. Can't find an Ast version, or a DEC version of the 1680. Here's a magazine clip I found:
