Having one of the former, I'm interested as to why some programs don't work on my 1000 (only a few, however). Also, the new Tandy Dos makes disks not-readable on non-Tandy machines. Why? No doubt it has to do with the BIOS or something, I'd assume. Anyway, thanks for listening - I'm out there waiting!
