The Tandy 2000 will support drives up to 32 MB directly, without
patches.  Use HFORMAT with the /p options, and it will prompt for the
number of heads and cylinders, and also prompt for the interleave
factor.  If you have very old ROMS, adding a D: drive will prevent
the system from booting off the C: drive, but it will still boot from
a floppy in A:.  You can get new ROMs from Tandy or from MicroLink
Technologies.

For disks of greater than 32 MB, you can buy a utility from MicroLink
Technologies called MLFormat/MLDrive.  MicroLink has an 800 number:
(800) 334-9612.

Compuserv has a lot of Tandy 2000 programs and instructions (including
instructions for adding hard disks to the system) in its TRS80PRO
forum.
