Yes, I actually flew across the country, broke into his house, grabbed the
mag-alloy 1535 out of his hands, repeatedly beat him over the head with it,
and took off. Doug, you're lucky to be alive after all that. :) Maybe
that's why I'm having problems with the sucker!

Yep, that sounds about right. It uses the same power brick my GRiDPad 1912
uses. BTW, if anyone needs a keyboard adapter cable for their GRiDPad, let
me know. I have 5 extras.

I'd rather trade it to someone who can really use it. Even if it works, I
don't really have a use for it, and the 1535 w/8mb is a very usable machine
even without the tray.

GRiD 1535 BIOS Date: 1989, slightly under the 10 year mark, but these are
such extrordinary machines!
