I have a few questions about the Tandy 1000 HX.  Firstly,
what type of chips do I need to bring the HX to 640 kB?
I do have the "Plus" board and there are 8 free sockets on it.
Do I just use 41256 chips (like the 1000 SX uses)?  Also,
I noticed that the chips on the "Plus" board are 120 ns chips.
So, do I need to get 41256-12 instead of the 150 ns variety?

I noteced when I put in the memory board a sticker which 
stated that the warranty would be voided if I opened the case.
Does this mean that I have to go to Tandy to put a B: drive in?
I asked the Tandy idiots and received their generic "We'll
ship it to Pittsburgh" response.

One final question regarding Tandy's Deskmate 2.0.  Is there
some reason why it won't run on my 1000 SX?  I took the files on
the 3 1/2" disk and put them on two 5 1/4" disks.  When I
tried to run it off my hard drive, my SX froze.  I assume 
that Deskmate is not copy protected since DISKCOPY worked
perfectly on the HX.  Are there some TSR's on the HX's ROM
drive that need to be run?  I'm rather puzzled.

Thanks in advance.
