On 1/18, Tandy announced the availibility, within 30 days, of the Model 100
Disk/Video Monitor Interface. It will include a SSDD 5-1/4 disk with 184K
capacity. It will also support 25 line video with 40 chars on a TV and 40 or
80 chars on a monitor. The unit connects to the 40 pin expansion connector on
the bottom of the 100 and comes with a zero-force insertion socket. Many new
BASIC commands are added to support the disk and video. A second disk drive
can be added. A minimum of 16K of RAM is needed to support the unit.

Prices and catalog numbers:

26-3806 Disk/Video Monitor Interface - $799.00
26-3807 2nd disk drive - $239.95

Tandy also dropped the price of the Model 100 by $200.

Radio Shack dealers won't know anything about the new unit until they
receive official notification within a few days.
