This past Saturday at a local retro meetup, it was announced there was
still at least 1 open spot for a speaker/presentation at VCF SW (Dallas)
this June.
Just passing the word, if anyone is in the area at that time and interested
to speak on a topic vintage-computing related. There should be a signup
at the VCF SW page.
Been messing around with a GRiD system recently - I'm not seeing a solid
archive of things like PDFs and ROMs for that system. And I've heard a
rumor there used to be one, but it went offline a few years back?
Mostly I'm looking for GPIB related info, and maybe either native GRiD
drivers or some compatible MS-DOS drivers to use the GPIB port on that
system.
Here some images and reference info of what I've learned so far about a
late-model (but before Tandy) GRiD system...

I'm also hunting around for one of those GRiD disk drives, if there is any
spare standalone one not bundled with another existing system.

I was curious and had a spare benjamin for one of these from eBay,
thinking it would be a handy USB to SCSI adapter for convenient
imaging of old drives, as it was mentioned as one a month or two
ago on the Reddits.
I'd like to find a manual and hear anecdotes. Mine is a model T4,
has USB 2.0 and Firewire 800, circa 2005. I was surprised to see
they were made in New Berlin, WI. I don't see any mention of
this model on their web site https://digitalintelligence.com/
nor any mention of "ultrablock" in my CCtalk archives.

Can anyone here tell me what tool I can use to create
DSK, DMK or IMD files from files with the extensions
"raw" and VOL? I am once again trying to get the CPM
Adaptable System for UCSD Pascal to work on an emulator.
I would also like to try and get the PDP-11 version of
UCSD Pascal running again and that requires the same
ability.

I have mounting brackets for 3.5" disk drives in an Antec Sonata III
500 case. They're nice metal trays with mounting holes on the bottom
and spring metal clips on the sides to hold them into the panel inside
the case. For some reason, I have six of them, but the case has only
four slots. Does anybody need them?

I have been talking with Paul Anderson about some PDP-11/05 parts.
End of January Paul wrote about medical problems and possible surgery.
I have not been able to get in touch with him since and hope he is OK.
Has anyone here heard anything about Paul since January?
Thanks
Tom
