We are running 2.10.3 B on this tandy16 upgraded to a model 6000
with a meg of mem and the primary hard drive upgraded from a 12
meg to a micropolis 70meg for about 1900$.  The hard disk plugged
in using the existing cables and only a jumper resistor on the
old 12 meg controller board was needed for modification, except
that the "green active light" was disconnected from the board and
instead was tied to the power supply.   The software has been helped
by hacking uucp and mail on the system and compiling a number of net 
sources utilities. The compiler is terrific and I have seen jove
and numerous other nifty utilities work on the 6000.

I haven't used micnet, but I've heard it isn't much, especially 
when compared to 2.10.3 B.   I understand most of the Tandy
Usenet Site machines use  Notes (NF).
