Once they got the idea that I wanted a Model I telephoned three Radio Shack Stores and two Tandy Computer Centers in the chicagoland western suburbs. My results: 1) The people at the store don't know what the Disk/Video Interface is. 2) I had to explain what it is and tell them the Radio Shack flyer page number and Catalog number. 3) They dont have any and dont expect to have any. I don't really want one that badly. I suppose I could have asked to have one "ordered", but I believe that they require that you pay up-front. Ted G.
