I have read an article about the new 1000 TX in 80 Micro and it sounds
really good. I would like to find out tips, hints, information about the
TX from anyone or better yet from someone who has purchased on of these
units.

Really I was wondering if it is worth it to upgrade from a 1000A and
take advantage of the increased speed and storage of the 3 1/2" drives.
To make 5 1/4" compatibility I would take a drive out of the 1000A and
use it to transfer files to the new format. Is this possible?

I also would like to know if the 9 pin serial port is compatible with
a PC MOUSE pointing device.

The bottom line is HOW GOOD IS IT AND ARE THERE ANY QUIRKS THAT CAUSE
PROBLEMS?
