The owner tried them... Grid told him the design is owned by the US Govt
and only they have the technicals on it... I was just hoping someone
somehow leaked them out. I'm sure Grid has them, they just won't release
them out the front door.

The manufacturer might still have them.

Subject: Grid 1537 ”Tempest” schematics
Hi,
I’m doing some work for a friend who has one of these unicorns it’s
apparently a super beefed up CIA use the laptop that wound up in Russia somehow
and he got it shipped back here to the US
The motherboard was modified it looks like the hard drive was on some kind of a
tray going to a connector which is IDE compatible
Someone had extremely poorly soldered on an IDE cable in place of the sled and
over the years several of the pans of popped off and they’re not really making
sense as to the solder points they’re supposed to go to. Complicating the
matter is the paint outs are not just a direct staggered 40 Pin to Pin
connection several of the through holes are not in use so just soldering on I
had her and plug in the cable into it is not possible also the pens are
staggered so that wouldn’t make it possible either.
So to cut to the chase does anyone have the schematics or the motherboard
pinouts for this connector so that I can do a proper soldering job and put on a
clean working cable so that this laptop can vote from the IDE hard drive?
