Tandy would be a better source for the information than GRiD since the GRiD
company is barely related to the old company.
But, I tried Tandy also... No luck. You can probably order another screen
from them but, forget getting information. I even bought the Technical
Manuals on my 1530 and I must say they are pitiful!!! There's about three
schematics in it (and they are just pin-outs for things like the SERIAL
PORTS! Nothing useful.) If I needed to know which bit to set in the drive
controller to make it catch fire, I would be in business but, hardware-wise
the tech. manuals are useless. My suggestion, find somone with a broken
GRiD and sell/give it to them.
Try the GRiD board:
