GRiD Palmpad 2350

The GRiD Palmpad 2350 is a small penbased handheld computer with grayscale CGA screen. There were several models each with different features. They feature a PCMCIA type I memory card slot, internal 2400 or 14,400 modems, serial and keyboard ports (with special cables), DOS in ROM, and more. The PalmPad was designed to be strapped to your hand or thigh using attached straps. I have a manual for this model but not for the 386 model. E-mail me if you have specs for the 386 model.
