The original Tandy 1000, 1000HD and a couple of others didn't have
the DOS ROM, that was added a couple of years into the history of
the product line. But any stock 360k MS-DOS will work, though
there were a few utilities unique to the 1000 on the official
version. But every Radio Shack store is supposed to have a CD
that can be used to recreate old Tandy DOS, Setup and utility
disks for any of the Tandy PC compatibles -- this of course leaves
out the Tandy 2000 and any of Tandy's real computers.
Where do we suddenly get two people in one day with attached
graphics? And the one _must_ have been reading this list for a
while, he'd copied a quote that I composed while listening to the
song I took it from. And you don't find Michael Longcor tapes at
your local Sam Goody's.
