   That's a good question, and I don't have an answer.   
      
   Someone has scanned old Radio Shack catalogs, though I don't have the URL.   
   Find that, and then look in the catalog for the year(s) of the computer   
   (I'm assuming it was when Tandy owned Grid), and if you find the computer,   
   they may have something about the needed stylus.   
      
   I still haven't figured out what my Blackberry Playbook tablet needs.  I'm   
   not prepared to buy random styluses until I find one that works.   
      
   That said, those used Touchspring Visors had metal rods as styluses, nice   
   and simple.  The Kobo Mini uses one of those rubber tipped ones, the cheap   
   ones work fine.  My won in a contest Microsoft Surface 2 also works with   
   those rubber tipped styluses, so I'm not sure what other kinds there are.   
      
   Take a nail, hold it against the screen, see if it works.  If not, that   
   would rule out the metal rod type.  Get a cheap rubber tipped one at the   
   dollar store, try that.  I don't know what else there is (I havent' seen a   
   third type really defined), and I would think it's too early for a Wacom   
   stylus that has electronincs inside.
