XTIDE SD Card Adapter Install in my Tandy 1000SX
Ғылым және технология
Now that the Tandy 1000SX is clean and up and running, it's time to install a HDD solution. I could try to find an old hard card or some other solution, but I've had good luck with CF and SD Card solutions in the past, so I'm going to install the SD to IDE ISA Card from Texelec. Finding a working Tandy 1000 hard drive that doesn't cost a fortune is difficult. I figured this would be a good alternative.
This isn't a sponsored video, I bought this myself, but if you're interested in checking it out, here's a link to the XT to IDE adapter: texelec.com/product/isa-ide-t...

I almost got a similar Tandy at Goodwill for $40, but didn't buy when I saw the look on my wife's face when she saw the beige monstrosity I wanted to bring home. So I'm stuck with DosBox for the foreseeable future. I'm glad it survived the flood, but I'm sorry your insurance isn't covering anything. Funny similar story: my back door is currently boarded up because someone tried to break in while we were on vacation. They didn't steal anything (luckily, because there's about $4,000 worth of audio equipment right inside the back door). Anyway, insurance quoted us a deductible so high that we might as well do the repair without bringing them into it. Makes me wonder what we pay for each month.

$40? That was a great deal. Too bad you didn't get it, but I understand. My insurance company said they understand a lot of the flooding happened because the door ended up getting blown open. They said the door was covered, but not the flood damage. So with a $1250 deductible, I decided to fix the $300 door myself.
Any way I can buy a bootable drive for xtide with Tandy Dos on it? My Tandy 1000sx came with a dos disc but it’s corrupted. Xtide that I ordered with bootable drive doesn’t work.

I ordered my DOS disks on eBay. There's a gentleman who makes brand new copies of original disks. They worked flawlessly to install DOS on mine.
