I recently acquired a M3SE for my model 4 and was curious how to copy some of the physical software I have on floppy to the virtual hard disks. Can I just do a copy or backup of the files to the hard disk or do I need to use special software like super utility 4 or CopyCat?
Its a Tandy/GRiD 325sc with the AM386SX-25 and Cyrix 387 co-processor. I was always told the OS/2 was more memory hungry vs CPU. It should be a interesting experiment.
I think I've narrowed down my card selections to the below. Any one that would be better than the other?

Thanks guys really appreciate all the information, the pictures so supported cards are especially helpful!
I'll use the Warp Connect based on your recommendation around IDE drivers.
I was hoping that the 16MB of RAM and SD card would make it usable. If not maybe trying OS/2 2.11 as a backup. Would you have any suggestions for graphics cards for versions 2.11 and 3?
I have a 386 machine with 16-bit ISA slots and I'm looking to install OS/2 WARP Version 3. What would some graphics card recommendations be as I know driver support was always an issue with OS/2.
I just picked up a Tandy/GRiD 325sc and thought it uses standard VGA cable but when looking at the port its different that the VGA cable I have. Does anyone know what type of connector this is on the card?

Just checked out Good Old Days and have used Winworld in the pas for operating system. Total DOS collection seems to be a private torrent so have to figure out how to access to that collection. I did end up flashing the Gotek with HxC after some fighting with the USB-TTL...

Thank you both for the explanation and recommendations. I'm waiting for the NEC V-20 and Co-Processor to come in. Now just need to decide which one to buy :)
What would you all recommend in terms of HD drive options for the Tandy 100SX? I have seen options for the XT-IDE and XT-CF lite. Any prefered vendor to purchase from?
I'm looking to test the Teac FD-55BV-75-U floppy drive that came with my 1000 SX since it's not installed in the computer. What type of floppy drive cable do I need since it has the card connector on the floppy drive. I have read that you can use a normal PC floppy cable but have seen references...
It looks like only .img files will work with the Gotek and no upgrade has been done to flash the Hxc or FlashFloppy.
Is there a way to convert .DSK files to work with Gotek?
What type of floppy cable is needed for the Teac FD-55BV-75-U (orginal drive)?
