Help!
Can anyone help me learn to operate my GRiDLITE?
I just bought a used GRiDLITE for use in Graduate School and as a
portable wordprocessor/database machine for my Coast Guard Reserve
Unit. Unfortunately, the man who sold only used Wordperfect --- and
then rarely did that --- so he lost the manuals and original
distribution disks. I'd be interested in any information and/or
software. (The GRiD resource Center has very little inforamtion any
more on these beasts.)
For Example:
--- the Grid ResourceCenter says this machine has 1meg expanded memory
but I can't find it with my existing software (from my Desktop
Zenith).
--- I want to boot with DOS 4.01 from the floppy --- can this be done?
--- I have a disk full of diagnostics --- which I can't run.
--- There are four empty slots in the back --- what can I put in them?
--- Can I (should I) open the beast to install an 8087 or a V20?
--- What is the pin-out for the floppy port --- I have several floppy
drives that I could use --- if I could connect them.
--- Can I get DOS 4.01 in rom? (I know it's a dog, but I have it on
my desktop and I want to have the same version for network
reasons.)
--- Can I get other applications blown into ROM (Kermit? MicroEmacs?)
ANY help will be appreciated!
