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.... -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I used to be a hacker.
