I'm thinking of getting a hard drive to put
on my Tandy 1000 TX system. I've looked at the
Tandy drives and $600 for 20 meg seems a little (lot)
on the steep side since I've seen 30 Meg drives for ~$300
from the mail order houses. What I'd like to do is get
a mail order disk and install it.
Are there any Tandy owners that have gone this route?
Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
Did Tandy do anything FUNNY to their box to lock users in
to their drives? (This is what I'm really worried about).

Thanks
