The Tandy 1000 series *without* that extra RAM uses part of the *normal*
RAM for the video (instead of having dedicated RAM for it). That extra
128k is *now* dedicated to your video. It's in the A000 to BFFF area.

*Good* question. There *was* a book from Tandy "Grapics and Sound
Programming on the Tandy 1000". So far the only info I've fund was
in Ralf Brown's interrupt list.

Try getting them to order a *service* manual. It may have some info.
Or get them to give you the number for Tandy National Parts. Then 
you'll be at least one level closer to someone who might know something.

I've acquired a TRS-80 model IVp.  In reading some of the literature, it
mentions another manual which I don't have but I want- the model IVp technical
manual.  Does anyone know where I could get such a thing?
(I have photocopies of a manual describing TRS-DOS, basic, and appendices, as

I'd prefer to get the manual for cheap or free, considering the fact that the

  I know someone has been having trouble getting a WDXT-GEN controller to
work in his 1000SX. I found this information:

          NOTE 2:  TANDY 1000 SYSTEMS - The WD1002A-WX1, WD1004A-WX1,
          WDXT-GEN2 and the WD1004-27X can be modified to operate in
          Tandy 1000 series computers, models SX, TX and the original or
          "A" version.  These computers utilize an interrupt of 2 (IRQ2)
          instead of IRQ5, the IBM standard.  To modify the WD1002A-WX1 or
          the WD1002-27X to operate in these systems, you must cut the
          etch between pin 1 and pin 2 at jumper position W-7.  Then
          solder pin 2 and pin 3 at the position (W-7).  To complete the
          modification, a jumper must be added to position 7 of switch S-1
          (2 rows of 8 pins).  PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY PHYSICAL MODIFICATION
          TO YOUR WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DISK CONTROLLER VOIDS THE WARRANTY
          ON YOUR BOARD.  To modify the WD1004A-WX1, WDXT-GEN2 or the
          WD1004-27X for your Tandy 1000 system, a zero ohm resister must
          be soldered to jumper position W-27.  This will change the
          interrupt from IRQ5 to IRQ2.

My son has a Tandy 1000RL.  We have three questions:

1) The computer originally had 512K of RAM.  He bought and installed
256K of additional memory (two chips).  The computer now says "768 K"
when we turn it on, but after it's finished booting we can only find
640K.  Yes, I know DOS has a 640K limit, but I thought we could use
the extra 128K for loading TSR's or for a RAMdisk.  Where is this
memory and how is it accessible?

2) How can one access the sound and music systems, other than through
DeskMate?  We'd like to do some programming.

3) Is there a technical reference manual for this computer, and where

The VM-2 is a composite monitor. That means it accepts a standard NTSC
composite video signal. That's *exactly* what the "video out" jack
on a VCR provides. 

The *only* IBM type card that produces composite output are the older
CGA cards and a few *expensive* VGA cards. The signals from the 9-pin
or 15-pin video connectors are *not* compatible with a composite
monitor.

But if you find a CGA card, you can use the monitor with it. It won't
be as good as a coolor monitor, but it'll be usable. Don't try it on
an EGA card. The RCA jacks on it are for something else....

I agree.  They want $600 for a hard drive and $400 for a
floppy drive for my laptop. They told me when I bought it that
any time I want to copy one of my 3-1/2" floppies to 5-1/4" or
vice versa, just bring it in (they're text files, not
copyrighted materials) and they would do it.  Now they have a
new manager, and they will not do it anymore.  That's the last
Tandy computer I'll ever buy.  Also, why should I pay $105 to
extend the warranty to 2 years when I can do it for free by
buying it on my AT&T Universal Card?

                ****  Tandy 6000 HD for sale.  ****

Features; 15 meg hard disk, 1 meg RAM, 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port.

Works as new. This system came from a business that never learned how
to use it, and was seldom even turned on. Never been hacked or even had
the rear panel removed until I got it yesterday. CRT has no phospher etch,
case and keyboard are in top shape. 

Has Xenix ver 03.01.01 loaded as well Scripsit, a Cobal interpreter, and
some accounting software. This system was running great until I did some
house cleaning in the root directory and deleted a file called z80cpr or
something like that, and now the system complains about the 'file not found'
during the boot sequence and will not progress past the boot> prompt.

                  PRICE $200.00 plus shipping

Also if someone has the distribution diskettes for Xenix for this machine,
I would be interested in purchasing them to replace the files I deleted.

[0]I don't know about  the  Tandy 1000SX, but  I have a Tandy 1000A [older]
[0]that has a hard card in it. Tandy DOES  use a different interrupt than  the 
[0]normal XT  clone. If you need to  know badly  enough, perhaps I can dig

On the 1000, 1000A, 1000SX, 1000TX systems, Interrupt 2 was used for
hard disks, while other PC systems used interrupt 5.  Some people even had
drivers that didn't need an interrupt at all.  Made sense, as DOS always
waited until the disk I/O was complete anyway and really didn't need an
interrupt.

IRQ 5 was used on the early 1000 systems for PCJr compatibility, providing
an interrupt on vertical sync.  A lot of games needed this.

Later 1000 systems provided a jumper so you could decide if you wanted
interrupt 5 to work like a PC or a PCJr.

The "backwards" print is a giveaway. The horizantal centering is off. 
When it gets far enough off, the characters that have been shifted off
the screen apparently reflect off of something inside the tube. That
gives the "backwards" appearance. If you can't get the picture centered,
that mean one of the components in the circuit is too far out of spec
for the trimmer to compensate.

This program is the most blatant attempt I ever saw of copying the 'original
adventure' aka 'colossal cave'. It starts outside a piramid, true, but
once inside you'll find that with a slight renaming it all fits TOA.
Shame of whoever made this. Trying to earn money with a PD adventure.

I must admit, neither have I. TOA was described as needing several person-weeks
to solve, so I'ld expect Piramid to be a lot of work.

Model 4 screen mode requires model 4 software to use it. You cannot
just switch over. Quite a few of the later products were able to recognize
the M4 and would make the switch, but the BASIC ROMs aren't capable of
dealing with it.

 Call or write Bob Stockler, he could probably send you the z80ctl file as

Yes, the Model 100 used an 8085, not a Z80.  If you look at the code in
ROM, you will note it never uses any of the IX or IY opcodes, nor any of
the Z80-specific opcodes.  Bet you can't find a    SBC	HL,DE in there.

I suggest you check to see if SBC HL,DE works or take a look inside the case
before you commit to Z80 opcodes.  If the opcode starts with FD, DD, CB, ED,
20, or 28, it won't work right on a 8085 processor.

	Is there a transltor/compiler available to translate an "L"
language (GDT) description to Xilinx's XNF ? Any pointers to the question
will be appreciated

Basically, you want to place the LAI library symbols in your DA schematic
and change the properties of concern. As you go through the menus, by the
time you get to a particular choice, ie a I80386-20 (PIN), this picks out
the exact timing, which is put into the model property. This model property
is a label into the model table, which will select the model.

SInce it is a processor, you may want to use a PCL file to initialize it.
THe best place to look is in the 2 volume set of Smart Model library 
databook. It is also kept online in the library_docs/datasheets directory
under your lai models directory. There is a datasheet for each model.

I looked briefly at the 386 and the only property of interest would be
the pcl_file. Package is irrelevant.

Good luck. If you have some more specific questions, I will try to help.
