James, Sorry to hear about your mother, but what about her passing made you need to boot an old computer? Mike -----Original Message----- From: James L. Rice [mailto:jrice@texoma.net] Sent: Sunday, November 07, 1999 12:51 PM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Tandy 2000 I was given a Tandy 2000 recently. Due to the death of my mother this week I just tried to boot it. It puts the 256k memeory message on the screen and the floppy drive light comes on but it never seems to boot. I recieved a boot disk copy with the machine and have ordered a MSDOS/Basic boot disk from RSU but no resultds. Any common prblem I should look for? I've already reversed the floppy drives with the same results.
