GRiDLite Plus
Project Name: GLP
I came across this machine in the consignment at VCF West. The price was low enough I couldn’t pass it up. Fortunately aside from a dead hard drive the machine works perfectly. I was able to find a hard drive emulator that works well with this machine and found the EMM driver for the EMS memory. Aside from that this marks the point GRiD transitioned to being another PC Clone OEM. Albeit one focused on the rugged portable market.
