Tandy is _not_, repeat _NOT_ the only source for hardware expansion cards 
for the Tandy 1000 series. There are several other vendors. Check the ads
in 80 Micro or in PCM magazine. You'll find prices that may not be as low
as for PC clones, but that are a lot lower than Tandy.

For the guy who wanted to get a hard disk for his 1000. Unless you can verify
that you have on of the more recent models that has a jumper for changing
the hard disk interrupt, you can't use a standard hard disk!!! Western 
Digital will gladly sell you a controller that is modified to work with
a Tandy 1000....
