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.
