I recently purchased the new wordprocessor from Tandy dubbed the
`WP-2'. It is pretty slick, and my interest is to add the accessories
available for it. Specifically I'm interested in the battery operated
drive for it. I just left the local Radio Shack store, which didn't
know much about this endeavor. So I turn to the wizdom of those on the
net for answers to my questions...


Is the Model 100 drive the same as that for the WP-2, or is there
another one on the way?

Does anyone have this drive hooked up and working with the WP-2? (I
noticed that miminally the RS-232 cable is 25 pin rather than 9 pin.)

Is there software needed for the WP-2 that comes with the drive? The
available unit that was there had a bad Utilities diskette.

Is the drive reasonably reliable and worth purchasing? Is there
anything else that I should look at using - Cassette for example?

Any help or comments are appreciated, email or post as you desire.
Thanks in advance!
