You should have been able to get them at your local Radio Shack
Computer Center -- for about $79.95, as I recall. That's the media
the Tandy 2000 used, and that machine and supplies for it arrived
during autumn '83. (Oh, yeah, I guess your supplier had them at the
same price, what with sales tax having that extra percent or so up in
the Bay Area).
