GRiDCase 3

When the tough get going...

Resources
The GRiDCase 3 is, like most true GRiD machines, encased in a Magnesium-Alloy shell that makes it nearly indestructable. Above the keyboard are 4 ROM sockets, hidden neatly behind a metal coverplate. Mine has only the MS-DOS ROM, but a GRiD-OS ROM was also available; Applications may have been sold as well.

Mine did not come with a power supply, and at 16volts, it's not just a matter of popping down to the local Radio Shack. Still, I have verified that it is operational, but I just haven't gotten around to picking up a wall-wart yet.

There is a docking station on its way to me, but I'm not 100% sure it's for this model. If it is, however, it will solve the power problem as well as (hopefully) allowing for some expansion.
