There are several Tandy 2000 fanatics in Portland who would like to know the
same thing. Tandy, doing their best imitation of IBM, refuses to comment on
the question of a new OS. This makes it tough for Tandy 2k owners who have
20meg hard disks and are stuck with 12 bit FATs so they have nice big 'fat'
4k clusters. Boy those batch files really eat up disk space.

Compuserve has a Tandy 2000 board under PCS-21 (TRSPROSIG) with real-live
Tandy reps online and available for flaming. On the same message board,
a 1meg project has been going around for the past 6 months. Anyone interested
in uping their 2K's RAM might want to check on Compuserve.
