Phoenix Leasing is doing it again -- selling factory reconditioned GRiD portable computers at about 1/3 of list price -- only this time, they are the current, battery operable, IBM-compatible GRiDCase line rather than the obsolete Compass line. The basic machine has either an LCD or plasma screen, 80C86, 512k RAM, 720k 3 1/2 inch floppy, 4 ROM sockets, RS-232 and Centronics ports, external keyboard connector, clock/calendar, internal/external power supply, DC power jack, and speaker, all in a rugged, die-cast magnesium case. The GRiDCase Plus adds a larger keyboard, EMS RAM capability, and a Pocket Floppy port. A number of options can be ordered, and will be factory installed and tested during reconditioning. Price Model Description $995 1250 GRiDCase 1: LCD display. $1075 1252 GRiDCase 2: nnhanced, supertwist LCD display. $1500 1260 GRiDCase 3: plasma display. $1350 1253 GRiDCase 2 Plus: enhanced LCD, 71 keys. $1700 1263 GRiDCase 3 Plus: plasma, 71 keys. add $300 for internal 10MB disk instead of floppy. add $175 for internal 1200/300 modem. add $150 for 8087 numeric processor. add $150 for RGB color video output port. There are also a few of the Compass computers left, from $350, and some software, mostly for GRiD-OS -- call for details. Contact Patti Rossi at Phoenix Leasing, 800/227-2626, for more information. I have no connection with Phoenix, other than that of a satisfied customer. I purchased 3 of the Compass computers last time around, and a bunch of software. :::::: Software Productivity Technologies --- Smalltalk Project :::::: :::::: Jan Steinman N7JDB Box 500, MS 50-470 (w)503/627-5881 :::::: :::::: jans@tekcrl.TEK.COM Beaverton, OR 97077 (h)503/657-7703 :::::: -- (Stamp out facist .signature restrictions!)
