Remember that you're stuck with MS-DOS 2.11 on the
Tandy 2000.
I have a 1000 and two 2000s an no OSes, BOO HOO! Anyone have any ideas
where to get the OSes?
I snagged a
Tandy 2000 30Mb harddrive this weekend!!! The actual drive is a
Quantum Model (?)204(?). It is stinking huge (not mainframe huge but
desktop huge)!
Can anyone tell me about this drive? Is there an easy way to connect a
newer HD to this machine?
The only drives I recall Tandy offering for the T2k were 10 Mb.
Newer or not, your only real choice is still ST506/MFM units.
Somebody was once working on a way to attack SCSI drives via the
Bernoulli Box interface, I never heard of any success, unlike
Bob Snapp's work with the Tandy 6000.
My thoughts are to pull the guts out of the cool case and drop a large IDE
drive and small 486 mother board into it then run Linux as a NFS with an
ARCnet card I have. Of course the purist in me will force me to mount
everything to existing holes and wrap the guts up good in protective
anti-static bubble wrap so I can undo everything when it loses it's novelity.
Speaking of which, anyone have any Tandy computer shells that I could BUY
to wedge a 486 into?
