COWABUNGA!!
My beautiful new GRiD Compass is now online!
The keyboard seems to need a little bit of cleaning or working-in,
sometimes keypresses don't register.
This thing automatically loads up a VT100 emulator when I turn it on.
Does anyone know anything about GRiD-OS? I think it was version
3.something. I'll verify that later.
I'm just SOOO happy that the Compass works! I'v been wanting to at least
_see_ one in operation since I first read the review in... I'm not
sure... January 1984 Creative Computing? (No, I think that was the
Gavilan.)
I'm going to have to poke around some more. I just wanted to dial in with
the thing and make this announcement. :) (It's hard to find a provider
that will accept a 1200bps conection these days, huh?)
So... GPIB is the same as IEEE-488? Anyone got an adapter cable for
GRiD-to-CBM? :)
YES!! Plasma display AND bubble memory in ONE machine!
