I am also looking for such information on hard drives for my Tandy 6000
HD. I have a 15 meg on the system now but it
just wont do the job, need more like 70 meg :-)

By the way.. how many Tandy 6000's and 16(b) users are there out in net
land.. I don't see talk about the 6000 and 16.. lets talk it up out
there.
