I have a 1000 and two 2000s an no OSes, BOO HOO! Anyone have any ideas
where to get the OSes?

My thoughts are to pull the guts out of the cool case and drop a large IDE
drive and small 486 mother board into it then run Linux as a NFS with an
ARCnet card I have. Of course the purist in me will force me to mount
everything to existing holes and wrap the guts up good in protective
anti-static bubble wrap so I can undo everything when it loses it's novelity.

Speaking of which, anyone have any Tandy computer shells that I could BUY
to wedge a 486 into?
