Two of us here bought 1101's . I am using it under MS-DOS and the other
guy is using it under GRiD-OS. We are both VERY pleased. 

I ordered Turbo-Pascal (MS-DOS version ) which should run. I also ordered an
editor (QEDIT) from Sammy Mitchell in Smyrna, GA which has a version that
is ANSI compatible. Slow, but should be useful.

When I get my copy of TPascal I'll be able to convert a comm program to work
on the GRiD. 

By the way, GRiD users don't worry when the machine gets very warm. It's 
supposed to. They use the case as a heat-sink. (and they call it a LAP top
- Not in MY lap :-)  ) 

Let's get the mailing list going!! (<Thanks Jan)
