Well, how do you build a hard disk into your Tandy 2000? All over the years
it was much too expensive for me to buy the original 10 MB harddisk from
Radio Shack (1000 bucks or even more). The Tandy 2000 was my freaky machine
and I am sure that I have handled much more with floppy disks on my t2k
(push in/pull out) than the average disk jockey has done here in town with
his records. ;-) All in all the Tandy 2000 did a good job for me. Uh, well,
*I* have been the (floppy) disk jockey... ;-)

And today, I use my Tandy 2000 as a terminal for my XENIX machine and bother
that booting lasts so long. In my case a cheap harddisk would probably do a
good job. So, are there some pointers how to build a harddisk into the
Tandy 2000?

BTW: I use BinkleyTerm with a Fossil-Driver under MS-DOS 2.0 (60 Hz-version).
     Are there solutions that support more than 9600 bauds via RS-232C?
