Newsgroups: comp.sys.tandy Subject: adding hard drive Message-ID: <1990Jun29.163337.8705@ecn.purdue.edu> Date: 29 Jun 90 16:33:37 GMT Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 25 I have a tandy 1000TX with a 20M hard disk card. I would like to either upgrade to a 40M hard drive or just add another hard drive. Preferably the second choice with the second hard drive being a 40M drive. My problem is that I have no idea what kind of drive(s) are compatible with this machine and what would be the best for working with this machine. I am mainly doing programming work with Turbo C++, which is very dependant on the hard drive for virtual memory. So I guess I need a fast hard drive but how fast is what I need to know. Along with some reliabe brand names. My second question is: Is it possible to expand the memory on one of these babies. And if yes, then how. Please send e-mail if you have an anwer to either of these questions. newlin@ecn.purdue.edu thanks in advance. -John -- ---------------------------------------------------------- | People don't fail because they intend to, | Johnny N. | | they fail to do what they intended. | | ----------------------------------------------------------
