TMK Tandy still sells the 2.11
for the 2000. It has a 186 cpu so it's
somewhat unique. They also have a lot of info on the 1K and 2K models
and their HDDs and controllers. You can use MSDOS 5 on the 1000s
but there were some problematic issues regarding losing the ROM-based
Tandy OS in some models. Therte's also a 2000 faq out there. Possibly on
TV-Dogs site which also has a lot of info on these models. Don't have the
URLs handy.

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.
