i have been toying around with an old Tandy 1000TX. for those of you who dont remember, or where too young, it is a very old system. It is a 286/10Mhz, 640K ram and CGA graphics.
anyway i want to know of something i can do with it. i need to find an 8-bit ISA VGA/EGA card cause i HATE the CGA on the thing. yes it is horrid, i even thought that over 10 years ago.
also i want to add a hard drive. it happens i have an old style 20MB drive on me, that was never used...ever. it uses a floppy connection.
so how can i tweak/update this thing. i want to add the drive, but how do i edit bios or settings.
or better yet, 8-bit controller cards

Jump to Posti have been toying around with an old Tandy 1000TX. for those of you who don't remember, or were too young, it is a very old system. It is a 286/10Mhz, 640K RAM and CGA graphics.
Unfortunately, a 10 MHz 286 will run DOS (MS/DR/Free), but not much else -- …
Jump to PostYou might be able to run Win3.1... I ran it on a PS/2 30-286 w/ 1M of ram & 20M HD, and was be to do some simple tasks using this configuration.
Jump to PostCan anyone even think of using a 286 .... after using a p4??? :D
