Hello Everyone, I just recently fired up my old 1000TX and fixed the keyboard only to discover my 20Meg Hardcard was shot! Other than that it seems to be...
Scott, Hard drives seem to be the thing that goes belly-up on old computers. Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of options for XT-class machines. For...
Scott, � You can do as I did. I have a Tandy 1000a. I have had a ltitle success with the�SCSI driver card and an apple�SCSI drive.The drive card is a...
As the first of my improvements on my 1000 SL I ordered and installed an NEC V30 CPU. The pins were somewhat brittle with age and I darn-near bent five pins...
Mike and Wesley - Thanks for the info. Mike - Thanks for the offer, but I think the TX is 8bit. I will keep looking around. The resources provided by this...
there are still harddrives out there refurbed and used you can find the smartdrives and floppies still use part numbers i got a new floppy for my rlx from a...
You can use a compactflash card in an XT... BUT! You have to have a controller that will work in an XT that is designed to drive an AT-class IDE drive. The...
Wesley - I just realized you mentioned the IDE to compactflash in a previous post. I'm a little knew to this stuff. Even if it did work the XT-IDE cards are...
i would, depending on where you are located, i am very hesitant to ship a 20+ yr old hard drive I have 1 full height and 3 half heights available 20 - 40mb...
Scott, Just ran across a Plus 4 hard card and wondering if you could use that.It is 8 bit and its yours if you pay postage. I can't tell you its good or not...
Hi Mike, My TX can only handle an 8 bit card that is 10 inches MAX. Anything bigger won't fit. So I don't think it'll work if your 8 bit card is 13.5 inches....
I recently got a 1000 ex and was wondering HOW i could upgrade it slightly, i have the external floppy port, but will that hook up to a standard floppy drive?...
hmm, that said, i'm curious if the pinout is the same perhaps as a ps/2 model 30 720kb floppy, of which i have a couple of them. i also have the parallel...
On Thu, 23 Apr 2009 05:58:52 -0000, "k2x4b524p" <k2x4b524p@...> ... Not directly. There's +12v & +5v on that connector. The drives show up on ebay every...
I have a 1000HX and external 5.25" drives. The external enclosure had an adapter that seperated the power and data so you could install a norm al 5.25" 360K...
Hallo, The external floppy port can accommodate a standard 360KB (5.25", 40Tr, DS, DD) or 720KB (3.5", 80Tr, DS, DD) drive. But the cable/connection is ...
Hallo, *If* you have a TL/2, you have the 'smartdrive'-controller (aka 8-bit IDE) on board. All you need is a Seagate ST-225 (20 MB) or a ST-251 (40 MB) HD and...
Hallo, On top of the fact that XT-controllers, able to drive AT-IDE drives (or CFs) are very rare, those that work in a Tandy 1000 (early type) are even rarer ...
... Those are AT IDE, aren't they? Last I heard they wouldn't work on the controller in the TL/2 and TL/3. The Seagate drives that worked had an X or A/X on...
The ST-225 is an MFM drive for the ST-506/ST-412 interface (separate control and analog data ribbon cables per drive, with 2 drives per control cable and one...
... Ohio, USA. Since I only have one spare cable I think I will keep that, but the enclosures have the needed hardware inside to mount any 360K drive and the...
The Seagate 225 and 251 are MFM drives...not XT/8-bit IDE... There weren't many compatible drives made. Probably the most common was the ST351AX (switchable...
i read the pin-out and it didn't look too hard to do, my biggest fear is my reversing one or 2 of the connections, or thinking i left out a power pin when i...
Hallo, I stand corrected. It is indeed the ST-351 A/X, a 40 MB version of the smart-drive, or 8-bit IDE. I should check my sources :( Anyway, good luck in...
