- [1]There is an obscure support department at Tandy called "Tandy Software
- [1]Assembly". Most Radio Shack employees don't know about it because they
- [1]don't read the employee manual. Anyway, if you don't have any luck with
- [1]your post, and you can round up the original catalog numbers of the items
- [1]you need, get a Tandy employee to call this department and order it for
- [1]you. Last I heard, you can get copies of disks, replacements, etc., for
- [1]$7.00 per disk.

- Tandy Software Assembly (TSA) is hardly obscure, as they manufacture or
- package all the Tandy-produced software and Tandy-branded diskettes
- the Radio Shack stores sell. They occupy a city-block-sized warehouse
- north of downtown Ft. Worth. They also handle getting the manuals printed
- and placed in binders. Now they handle ordering CD-ROMs and packaging them
- for whatever product they go in. TSA is in the Ft. Worth phone book,
- but don't bother, as they can't sell direct to anybody.
-
- All stores are able to obtain replacement disks and manuals to Tandy-produced
- software via TSA (if you have a Microsoft disk, obviously they can't help you
- there). Just ask your store guy, or if your store has the TandyVision thing,
- it might even have some information on what to do. You do need to be patient,
- because the store person isn't going to make ton of comission off something
- like this and it requires much more effort than selling that stereo system
- sitting on the shelf. Bottom line, don't try to order one of these at
- 5PM on Christmas Eve.
