   I am replying to this posting to verify Mr. Fritz's problem with TD.  I
   too have a Tandy 1000TX with almost exactly the same configuration as 
   the [deleted] outline above.  The problem is identical to one I very
   recently experienced, with the screen full of colors and trashed 
   directories on the hard drive.

   If anyone else has experience with this problem, or can offer solutions,
   I would be interested in hearing from them, either on the net or by 
   personal reply.
