  I have a Seagate ST-251 in my SX. I bought it from Hard Drives
International. Just be sure to mention you need a controller modified for the
Tandy 1000. (It consists of a different ROM, a trace cut, and a jumper
change.) The On-Track software did not work properly (the computer would
not boot off the HD) so I used the HD ROM software for low-level format,
and the FDISK, FORMAT, MLPART.COM, MLPART.SYS, and MLFORMAT programs that
came with DOS. They also sell many other disk drives that will work with
your Tandy. Their number is 1-800-234-DISK. They have ads in most major
computer magazines.
