Lines: 29 I am new to this newsgroup. My wife has Tandy 1000XL. I would like to bung in the memory upgrade, a serial card, and a hard drive card for an external. (even an internal HD would be okay). Obviously I do not want to spend the outrageous Rook Shak prices. Soooo... Could people out there in netland tell me what other merchandise I can use. Specifically : What is the serial #, memory speed etc. of the 32K memory chips. What IBM compatible cards can I use for the serial line What IBM compatible cards can I use for the hard drive controller card. If I use a HD controller card, what hardware jiggling, if any, do I need to do ? Thanx in Advance maurice Maurice Sharp University of Calgary Computer Science Department 2500 University Drive N.W. sharp@ksi.cpsc.UCalgary.CA Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4 ...!alberta!calgary!sharp
