Anything's possible, but I've only seen the opposite: "made for GRiD by
X". Tandy acquired GRiD in 1988, so machines made since that time have
been unpure bastards for the most part, and the brand got a bit diluted. I
think GRiD operated pretty indepently for a few years after the
acquisition, so they were able to pull off a few cool machines like the
GRiDPads and the Convertibles (which later had an AST label when AST
bought Tandy's computer division).
