- Scott,
-
- I think there might be something wrong with your Soundblaster card. The Tandy
- should address it like a standard sound card. As a matter of fact, Radio
- Shack sells those cards for use in their compurters.
-
- As for IDE, I have personally installed many IDE drives in Tandy 386 and 486
- systems. Brands from Connor to maxtor. There should be no problems in the
- installation.
