I am playing around right now with a Tandy 2000, but it has no floppy drive. THE
HD works fine, but I'd love to get the information off the HD, and that is
difficult right now :). I tried a couple of standard 360K/1.2MB drives before
Googling around. Does anyone have any information about what can be used as a
replacement drive?
Interestingly, the information I've seen indicates that the Tandy 2000 runs a
modified version of MS-DOS 2.11 but the version on this machine is 2.0.

The Tandy 2000 uses a 720K 5.25" drive. DSDD 96tpi.
Matsushita (Panasonic, Shugart, etc.) 465
Tandon TM100-4
Teac 55F
etc.
SOME 1.2M drive could work. They need to be jumpered to 300 RPM, "low
density" recording current, etc.

With a little work, they can be made to run other versions.
