It's the controler you need to be concerned about here. Make sure the controler can be switched between IRQ2 and IRQ5 and you're all set. The BIG thing to watch is the very small power supply in your Tandy. Like mine, it won't handle more than one drive with any safety and low voltage is THE big hard drive killer so be carefull. Just don't buy a drive from Radio Shack unless you wanna pay a lot more for the same drive. -- Jack Wiggins NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: jackw@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!jackw 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---
