AST has finally decided to have a visible presence on the Internet.
Their new Web Server went online today according to a press release.
It can be found at  www.ast.com.

I mention this in the  comp.sys.tandy  group because there are sections
pertaining to the old GRiD line, including BIOS, CONFIG and SETUP
disk images for GRiD systems and laptops.   

Not all of this material (or any of it) may be present on the Tandy WWW
system, since all the rights to BIOS, SETUP, and software to Tandy products
shifted to AST on 2-Jul-1993.  

AST has warnings all over their site (they get tiring pretty quick) that
they don't want anybody mirroring any of the stuff on the site.  Therefore,
if you have an interest, get it and keep ir privately in case it goes away
some day because it is "old" or not "AST" or their NT server trashes itself.

Personally, I suspect that the licensor of the BIOSes (usually Phoenix
for Tandy/GRiD systems) probably doesn't like their code being on WWW
sites anyway, since they don't get any royalties...
