TMK Tandy still sells the 2.11 for the 2000. It has a 186 cpu so it's
somewhat unique. They also have a lot of info on the 1K and 2K models
and their HDDs and controllers. You can use MSDOS 5 on the 1000s
but there were some problematic issues regarding losing the ROM-based
Tandy OS in some models. Therte's also a 2000 faq out there. Possibly on
TV-Dogs site which also has a lot of info on these models. Don't have the
URLs handy.
