  Interesting.  While I have no great love for Tandy, I have a 1000TX
  that I have installed 

  1.  A memory expansion card to load TSR's and such into high memory
  2.  An NEC Super VGA card
  3.  A Seagate hard card with Winchester controller
  4.  A Prometheus (Hayes compatible) 2400 baud modem.

  All of the above were mail ordered with no special provisions and 
  installed in the computer w/o a lick of trouble (once the appropriate 
  manual(s) were read).  The only irritating thing I've found about my 
  TX is that is doesn't have a 16 bit slot.  Incompatible? I must admit 
  I find that hard to believe, at least with the TX.
