I may be getting a Tandy 1000HX in prime condition, possibly loaded with the memory

This reminds me. I've got a Tandy 1000EX with a 1200baud modem card in
it, but I've not yet figured out how to get the modem to work.
I tried it with Commo (?) and a couple of other programs that I scrounged
from BBSes. I played with IRQ settings and stuff, and eventually got SOME
kind of response from the modem, but never managed to get it to dial out.
One interesting thing to note about the modem is that it has to be the top
card in the stack. It doesn't have pins on it to pass the buss through to
another card.
Another interesting thing is that my machine's RF shielding seems to have
been largely composed of metalicized cardboard, which was roughly ripped
open over the expansion bus. (Ugly)
If you slide the expansion cover open (top hidden
section) you can see what's
been added. The memory card is usuallly on the bottom, the serial will be
I slid the cover back, nothing there, which is what I assumed, since I saw
no ports sticking out the back. Funny, even the CoCo series had a serial port on
the back.
Yes, it is odd that these models have no serial port. I remember bringing
this up before about my 1000EX and being told I must've somehow missed
seeing the port. :)
