	I seem to remember that Tandy did something weird with the drive
   interface, don't remember exactly what it was. I'd personally get the
   ProSoft drivers, Tandy has a nasty habit of creating drivers that lack
   flexibility. As far as allocation of space goes you're stuck, the allocation
   scheme for LDOS/TRSDOS wasn't designed with harddisks in mind. You can buy
   a program called "diskdisk" from Misosys, I think thats who sells it, that
   can kludge more usable space out of the file system. Diskdisk uses logical
   drive slots though, if you are already using all 8 slots you're out of
   luck. Let me know how you solve the problem, I'm getting a hard disk this
   summer although it will be a third party drive.
