Sorry, I misunderstood the question:  I thought you wanted to add a
bigger hard drive to a system that already had one.

To add a hard drive to a Tandy 2000 that doesn't have one, you need
the 10 MB hard disk kit.  You can get one from Comp-U-Sel, a company
that sells (among other things) new and used Tandy 2000s and
accessories.  I bought a hard drive kit from them and was very
satisfied.  I paid something like $250 for it.  It's easy to install,
and comes with comprehensive instructions.  It includes a 10 MB
full-height Tandon 602 hard drive, a Tandy 2000 hard drive interface
board, the Tandy 2000 auxilary power supply, mounting hardware,
and cables.  You can call Comp-U-Sel at (817) 465-5736, or write to:

It's also possible to find Tandy 2000 computers and accessories at
Radio Shack stores.  Sometimes they have some stuff in the back room.
They sometimes have a listing of surplus equipment available from
other stores in the area, and can find stuff for you that way.

Good luck,

Robert
