Is that a Tandy-specific DOS for the 1110HD? I'm sure I've got plain DOS 5.0 around here, but maybe only on 5.25" disks...and I'm sure it's not a Tandy...
Howdy all, Well, finally (!) finished the first project Tandy 1000, an "A" model. I had a lot of problems in getting the PC's controller card to recognize any...
Hi Mike, I am trying to do what you have been able to do. I am having a lot of trouble finding a hard card. I did get one from a guy in Canada and it lasted...
Hi Mike H. and anyone who's having trouble finding a hard card. I finally located a couple: one Seagate(Fugitsu) and one Western Digital that both work. The...
There is a problem with using many of the SCSI adapter cards. Most can only be set to use interupt 3 or 5. Any PC that can boot from a hard disk using interupt...
Hallo, If you only have one HD (or even one and a spare) take good care of it. - avoid temperature fluctuations: you can kill those old HDs by thermal shock....
Hi Jan, Isn't the shiptrak command in DOS a head parking utility? I use it religiously when shutting down for the night. Edgar ... From: "Jan Vanden Bossche"...
... If you can get one of the controllers that lets you use an AT IDE drive (ie everything on the market for the last 20 years) in a 1000, then there are a...
Hallo, Indeed. That's exactly what I was speaking about in point 2 of my text. But "shiptrak.com" was only supplied with some versions of MS-DOS for Tandy. ...
Looks great, good to hear that someone is going to put it to use. My 286 (a 1000 RLX) came with a trial version of GeoWorks Ensemble on its hard drive, it runs...
I have most of them except the SLs. The EX and the TX are the only ones I keep up and running. The TX is far and away my favorite. I keep the EX running...
I've got an SL (which was my first computer), a 3000HD, a 1200HD, and (I believe) a TX. I need to dig them out and give them some running time, they've all...
I've never had that problem with a Tandy, but I used to have a generic 386 with a non-standard CMOS battery which was permanently attached to the motherboard. ...
As an alternative, you could look for an 8-bit VGA card. 17" VGA monitors galore, nowadays. Even some 16-bit ISA VGA cards work fine when put into an 8-bit...
... Mine aren't for sale, but most of the older NEC multi-synch monitors (the ones with a 9-pin connector, and that required an adapter to connect to a VGA...
The battery on the 3000HD is one of those boxy units that velcro-attaches to the inside front of the case and plugs in. Problems is, it still leaked down onto...
I'm pretty sure I've got two of them hanging around...if they are both still good, I could probably be convinced to part with one. :-) However, it will ...
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot first chance I get. If it hasn't eaten stuff away too badly, perhaps it will work... Thanks, Wesley ... From:...
Just picked one up off of ebay.... I'm trying to find a good working TX (what I used to have back in the day), TL or TL/2 to play a legacy video game. It...
Hallo, ... What's your problem? You've got a machine that works. What you have to do is: First, find the SETUPTL2.EXE (?) utility from Tandy to access the boot...
You can try to clean up that mess. The batteries generally leak alkaline materials so a bit of vinegar and water will clean and neutralize the leakage. Take...
... configure it as ... set as ... Ok, I'll give this a shot. I don't know if I want to tear apart the EX again, I just put it back together. I might just...
... William, You might try what I've seen a lot of people doing with laptops these days: replace the hard drive with a compact flash card and an ide adapter. ...
... If the drive is plugged into the built-in controller, you *can't* use current drives. The built-in controller is an 8-bit IDE (aka XT-IDE) one. Moderen...
... It's a "smart drive". Uses an 8-bit version of the IDE interface. If you can't find one, then your best bet is finding that (rare) XT card for AT IDE...
