Tandy has announced (in their new catalog) a multifunction board that can substitute for up to four of their regular boards! The board (for $311) contains 256k of RAM (does it contain the DMA? Don't know but I would guess "yes"). You can add another row of 256k chips to bring it up to 512k for the max 640k system. Sockets on the board allow adding new versions of their RS-232 and Mouse/Clock cards. This gives two free slots, one for the hard disk controller ($300) and another available for who-knows-what (in my case it would be the original 256k card, I presume). I also noticed that the announcement for the 1000HD (which has a 10Meg hard disk for $2000) says it has 256k of RAM. Is this using the new, rumored, mother-board which has a socket for an 8087??
