The GRid is an interesting machine that came out around 1983. The computer is built in a metal case and utilizes bubble memory. It has a 5.5x4 inch amber display 300/1200 bps modem, 110/220v power suppply, proprietary serial connector and a GPIB expansion connector. The computer's software consists of GRiD management tools which are GRiDPlan, GRiDPlot, GRiDWrite, GRiDFile and GRiDTerm. This computer is in excellent condition and came complete with photocopies of the Owner's guide and the getting started manual. Supposedly this particular GRiD model was used by a NASA employee for space shuttle related activities, but that fact cannot be quantified.
