- Does anyone here know how I can possibly upgrade my Tandy 1000SX to
- some more modern neccessities?
-
- It is a 8088-based machine with 640k and two 360k 5.25 drives. And two
- modems plugged into the Com port. One is a 1200bps and the other is a
- 2400bps.
-
- Now, I'm currently seeking a hard drive or a hardcard, or even a 720k
- drive in lieu of a 360k drive.
-
- My question is, how can I upgrade to a 720k or a 1.44 3.5 drive? I've seen
- prices for tandy drives at 159.00 and I assume it is because there is some
- special hardware required to make it functional on such a old machine,
- but what do you guys think?
-
- Also, I'm looking for a MFM or RLL 30mb and up hard drive with a 8-bit
- controller.
-
- Please, somebody, help me out here. I know there's got to be some experts
- on the infamous Tandy system and how to upgrade them minotaurs.
