Like every intrepid soul I sought out Ebay. The price was right. Disclaimer: Be very gentle installing the chip. The pins get somewhat brittle with age. Rick...
Sounds about right. I installed an NEC V20 in an SX a while back. Norton showed similar results on my machine. I would love to find an NEC V50, which was the...
It's unfortunate that the pin-outs for the V50 are incompatible with the standard 286 socket. V50's are available but you'd need to construct an adapter. That...
Rick It seems you are correct. In my defense, I am basing my info on the 1991 publication "Upgrading your Tandy" by DCS publications. Page 121 states, "There...
Hallo, I was always told that the 2000 and 1000 keyboard were identical, but that the connectors/wires were different. Is there any information about the ...
Ty The very first 1000TX I ever bought (used) came with a 2000 keyboard. I have never taken it apart to determine if it had been modified, but it has worked...
if you google "Jeff Hellige" you should find his Tandy 2000 faq site (geocities). Therein he has all the original service bulletins issued by Tandy. One shows...
... Somebody better clone that site soon, as geocities is going away in the near future. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at shadowgard dot com...
While digging thru my storage locker for some other things, I stumbled across a pair of these. One had the drive removed (as I recall RS had the ounit on...
please don't do that, i have a 1000ex that would benefit from having a 3.5inch external drive, what is your asking price? i get paid this coming friday...
http://rapidshare.com/files/242848370/Upgrading_and_Repairing_Your_Tandy.pdf Thanks to mikeh42 you can now download this Tandy 1000 reference book. Just use...
Great Job guys! Thanks a lot for uploading this informative book in pdf format. ... http://rapidshare.com/files/242848370/Upgrading_and_Repairing_Your_Tandy\ ...
... I listed them. Starting price $10. No takers. And one email from someone here lamenting the high proces on eBay and asking me not to list them there. -- ...
thats not surprising really, and i just got my hands on a mfd-63w-70d 3.5 floppy out of a tandy, i have to look up specs but i'm sure it's 720, all i need to...
... Heck, if you'd bid on the driveless enclosure I offered, you'd just have to plug it in and dig up a ribbon cable. :-) -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) ...
ehhh, never been a big fan of e-bay, i've also run into a problem with it, i'm not sure if the cable is a different pinout or what, it's got a 4-pin power...
... Do recall that the card edge on the back of the EX/HX has *power* (for the drive) on pins that are normally unused. So if you don't have the odd little...
An interesting thread on comp.sys.tandy http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.tandy/browse_thread/thread/dfe70937cc57a3e7?hl=en The makers' site is in...
On Sat, 13 Jun 2009 11:38:49 -0700 (PDT), If you want to know just ask ... The internal 3.5" floppy drives for the HX have +5v & +12v power over the 34pin...
hence there in the problem, i don't have the enclosure, and the drive is already fitted to a 5.25 inch bay adapter. i get paid friday i'd be tempted to send...
... Well, there's not that much to it. Only thing is, you *really* need to have a keyed ribbon cable as plugging it in upside down is bad. Other than the drive...
hmm, one more question, the 720k i have. it's fitted to an bay adapter already, it's also got a 5.25 inch face place, the plate is designed for the drive...
I know it isn't a 1000, but a 3000 was an AT clone, very sturdy, and was extremely upgradeable. Shipping is HIGH, especially if you want the EGA monitor. I am...
I see the auction just ended, it went for only $9.99 plus shipping - good deal. There seem to still be more 286s around than 386s or 8088s. Yeah, it will...
Thankfully a good deal indeed...shipping to me is going to run $25. :-) Now I just have to decide (and quickly) if it's worth another $25 to ship the...
