    Using machines as they were vs. with modern "upgrades"

    For me, I think I just want the ability to use the software on original hardware. I think upgrading it (either via accelerators, compact flash cards, virtual serial modems, etc.) just make it easier to experience everything the hardware had to offer. I do also like the fact that you can max...

    Tandy 1000 RLX XT-CF-lite Issues

    You likely have the XT-IDE conflicting with something else in the same memory location. On my TL/2 I had to make adjustments so it would start at C000 and then everything started working. It's been awhile, but I think you can open the rom file with the xt-ide application and change the memory...

    Tandy 1000SX "Big Blue" (U30) interchange

    Glad to see you are getting somewhere. I have an Tandy 1000 SX that is (thankfully) still working. If there is something you need to compare with let me know. I don't have an oscilloscope to validate anything though. :) Best of luck!

    Any advice on a good portable media (MP3/MP4) player?

    I use a FiiO x3. It's an audiophile kind of device with a quality DAC and supports normal and high-end headphones. I don't think they make it anymore but FiiO makes a lot of high quality players. https://www.fiio.com/player If you like music and want good sound quality, I would go that route...

    Tandy Sensation Power supply

    Sorry, but your options are pretty slim. The best way would be to repair it yourself, but if you aren't inclined to learn how to solder, your only hope is to find someone who has the equipment and the knowledge to be able to fix it properly. Check local ads or ebay for a possible electronics...

    LOL. I posted this in 2014. I think I still have both of my EMS cards (still working btw). :)

    Tandy 1000 TL with XT/IDE

    I was almost certain that the Tandy 1000 TL line required to switch to another address (D00?) on the xt-ide for it to function properly. The behavior you specify seems like you are encountering some kind of conflict on the address. I ended up reflashing mine with the alternate address and then...

    Getting WD1002A-WX1 to work in Tandy 1000SX with floppy drives not working

    Tandy SX uses a low-density drive format (360k for 5 1/4" drives, 720k for 3.5" drives). You can't use high-density drives with the onboard drive cables. Tandy's also don't use a twisted cable (like most floppy cables) to determine which drive letter (there are actually jumpers on the drive to...

    Tandy 1000 EX Monitor Stand

    Good Morning!! I have been looking high and low for the Tandy monitor stand that was used with the Tandy 1000 EX, so that your monitor can sit on top of your keyboard/pc, but still allow access to the floppy drive from the side. I have had a search up on ebay for the past two years, and I have...
