What year were these made?

Around 1990 I believe.

The blue tint's pretty nice but yeah it gets hard on the eyes after a while.

If you want you can buy colored EL sheets but my understanding is that these are even dimmer, as the "natural" color of EL is blue.

Looks great. Now try installing Win3.11?

I'm now trying to find a way not to have to transfer all software via floppy. I have a rs232 to usb cable but was not able to connect - also might be too slow anyways. Might need to try with a parallel cable.

Nothing new from last time I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/1j1gpyr/success_almost_backlight_improvement_on_grid/ - I got another A4 electroluminescent panel from ebay after I destroyed by mistake the previous one, and everything worked great. All the details of what I did are in the previous post!
