Well, I'm back.   If anyone remembers, I had the problem with the 20 Meg
Tandy hard card a while back.  I went to the area Radio Shack, and they sent
the drive out to be fixed.  When it came back, they said that they fixed
a bad connection on the controller.  As before, everything went well for a 
week, then it started to give me the infamous "1701" or controller error.
(For those who don't remember, I have a Tandy 1000SX, 2 5-1/4" 360K floppies,
an internal 1200-baud modem, 640K memory).

Now that the problem is recurring with a supposedly fixed hard card, I am
wondering if the problem might lie with the power source (i.e. - not enough
to run everything).  I have talked to some other people and they mentioned that
this could be a source of the problem.

Anyone out there have any pointers or other ideas?  I've reseated the
drive to no avail.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Houwers
