GRiD Model 1900 question

Hi,

I picked up a GRiD Model 1900 pen-based DOS machine today. HSC Electronics is selling
them for $20 each here in Californie. I haven't found much in the way of websites,
pictures, etc. of this machine. Does anyone know of any out there?

What I know so far is that they seem to be V20 powered 2 mb RAM based machines with
little expandability but a nice LCD display. It has a semi-standard [compatible but
weird pinout] port for a keyboard. There is a port on the side that I hope is a serial
port and not a CGA or some such thing. How do you get data in and out of these machines?

I was wondering what the little door on the bottom of the machine is. Someone in past
e-mails on the net mentioned that it was for an IDE hard drive connection. Might this be
true?

I haven't powered it up yet as I have yet to order a power supply for it [Monday] but am
intrigued enough to pour a few bucks into it to see if it works properly.

With piqued curiousity,
Thomas
