The first GRiD Compass launched into space on 28 November 1983 aboard the space shuttle Columbia. The hardware adaptations for microgravity were relatively minor: a new cord to plug into the January 11, 2021. If you’re familiar with vintage portable computers, you know about the GRiD Compass. Even if you’re not into computers of yesteryear, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a The GRiD Compass laptop computer prototype is one of the most significant historic computers in Cooper Hewitt’s collection. Not only is the GRiD Compass one of the first laptop computers, with its innovative clamshell case, but it was also designed by Bill Moggridge, an industrial designer who went on to became director of Cooper Hewitt from 1109 GRiD Server Workstation—256K RAM, 256K System Memory Compass Computer—256K RAM, 384K Bubble Compass Computer—256K RAM, 384K Bubble, Built-in Modem Compass Computer—512K RAM, 384K Bubble, Built-in Modem COMPASS Il COMPUTERS (All include one 128K ROM Pack with GRiD-OS Utilities: GRiDManager, Executive, Common, Modem, PhoneLink) 1121 The first laptop to fly on the Space Shuttle was the GRiD Compass, which, after beginning development in 1979, was released three years later. Starting with model 1101, it used a clamshell case made of magnesium alloy and it weighed 4.5kg, which was less than half that of its main competitor, the Osborne 1. Vay Tiền Nhanh Chỉ Cần Cmnd Nợ Xấu. Grid 1101 1982 Grid Compass – the first rugged laptopThe Grid Compass 1101 was the first clamshell laptop ever produced. This innovation of folding the screen over the keyboard was eventually used by almost all laptop manufacturers and for a long time provided Grid with a revenue stream from the patent. It was made of die-cast magnesium, which makes it the first truly rugged portable, and therefore gets pride of place on and an extra long post! Grid apparently stood for “Graphical Retrieval Information Display” Designed by Bill Moggridge, a British industrial designer who made it to the bay area long before Jony Ive, the GRiD Compass 1101 was innovative and successful despite being expensive and rather odd in some ways. Bubble memory? GPIB built in? GRID-OS? a 1200bps modem? Bill’s original design featured all of the classic features of a modern clamshell laptop. In order to raise money for the venture, he created a mock-up of the proposed product. Not in 3D cad… But a real mock-up: Original prototype mockup of the GRiD CompassGRID Systems Corporation John Ellenby founded GRiD Systems Corporation in 1979 and was later joined by co-founders Glenn Edens (VP of Development) and David Paulsen (Manager of Hardware Engineering). The company was based in Mountain View, CA in the heart of Silicon Valley. They moved from a garage (typical!) to their first office building in August of 1980 at which time they started hiring people. The company was very secretive (not even telling job applicants what they might be working on) and remained in stealth mode till March 30, 1981 when they issued their first press release. The original GriD concept was inspired by Alan Kay’s vision of a Dynabook. Ellenby apparently wanted to develop a portable email terminal, while Glen envisioned a portable personal computer. Indeed, Edens said his primary contribution was to push the founding team to do a whole computer, complete with local processing and storage (rather then a dumb terminal with only email capability). Grid LaptopThe Grid Compass was primarily bought by the military, NASA, and other government agencies, and is famous for having been used on shuttle missions in the 80’s. It was also a fixture on Air Force 1. On sale at the same time as the Osborne 1 ($1,795) the price of $8,100 was pretty stratospheric. NASA modified the GriD by replacing the modem module with a Shuttle Bus interface board, designed by Rockwell International. That enabled the GriD to communicate with on board instruments. This type of modification is exactly what ProCustom Group does today for Getac rugged laptops. Link to Smithsonian Link for Grid-II Also importantly, it featured as the sentry gun control terminal in Aliens the movie. Grid discussion at the Computer History Museum “Grid was used to launch every satellite off the space shuttle from 1984-1987. The launch sequence software for the shuttle was actually programmed into the on board Grid Compass. The GriD could communicate with all the electronics gear on the shuttle via a Rockwell built communications card that replaced the integral modem. Later, NASA programmers developed quality of life applications for the GRiD. These included calendar scheduling for the astronauts. NASA called the GRid – a Portable On board Computer. In the Jan 1986 Challenger shuttle disaster, the Grid’s were recovered and they still worked.” The above is from an excellent question and answer session at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA in 2008.

William (Bill) Moggridge (b. 1943), a British industrial and interaction designer, the current director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York, is known as a pioneer of interaction design and one of the first people to integrate human factors into the design of software and hardware, as well as the designer of GRiD Compass 1100, the first commercial laptop designed the computer in 1979, but the first GRiD Compass (the computer was announced in marketing materials as Model 1100, but it did not exist, the released machine was the Model 1101) was released in April 1982, at a price 8150 USD. The manufacturer was GRiD Systems Corporation, Mountain View, with the Sharp PC-5000 and Gavilan SC computers, released in 1983, the GRiD Compass established much of the basic design of subsequent laptop computers, although the laptop concept itself owed much to the Dynabook project of Alan design of GRiD Compass (see the lower image) used a clamshell-style die-cast case (where the screen folds flat to the rest of the computer when closed), which was made from a magnesium-alloy (GRiD had the patent on the clamshell idea). The size of the machine was 38 (H) × 29 (D) × 5 (H) Compass, model 1101 (source: computer featured an Intel 8086 processor (8MHz) with 8087 math coprocessor, 256KB DRAM (up to 512KB), a 6-inch 320×240-pixel bright (80 chars × 25 lines text), sharp electroluminescent monochrome display, 384K internal magnetic bubble memory (it is a type of non-volatile computer memory, developed by Andrew Bobeck in 1960s, that uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles or domains, each storing one bit of data), and a 300/1200 baud ports are RS-232/422 serial and GPIB parallel (Grid Processor Interface Bus), which allowed daisychaining of multiple computers? The keyboard was full stroke 57 Compass, model 1101, back view (source: devices such as hard drives and floppy drives (10 Meg hard drive/ floppy drive combo or 360K floppy drive model) could be connected via the IEEE-488 I/O. The power input is ~110/220 V, 47–66 Hz, 75 GRiD Compass ran its own operating system, GRiD-OS, which was a full-function, menu-oriented and powerful operating system. The suite included also several applications: GRiDManager (communication and utility functions), GRiDPrint (control format and appearance of text files), GRiDPlan (electronic worksheets), GRiDFile (database utilities), GRiDPlot (converts data to graphs), GRiDBASIC (high-level programming language), and GRiDWrite (full-screen text editor).GRiD Compass 1101 with opened case (source: three bubble memory modules are seen on upper-right corner of the developed for business executives (who else can afford a personal computer for 8–10000 USD at that time?), GRiD Compasses were also used by the government, military in the field (naval vessels, attached to paratroopers, etc.), and by NASA on the Space Shuttles during the 1980’s. It’s even believed that the US President’s nuclear football at one time included a GRiD portable Osborne 1 computer sold at around the same time as the Compass (in the beginning of 1980s), although lacked the Compass’s refinement and portable size, was more cheap and more popular device, moreover it ran the popular CP/M operating Compass in a Space Shuttle in 1985 (source: 296,669,475 stock photos, 360° panoramic images, vectors and videos
