Nice to see a Tandy BBS here-I thought I was the only one here on AOL with one! I have a Tandy 2500 SX/33 which is a 386 SX and was wondering does anybody else have one of these? What is the life span of a Tandy? When I walked into Radio Shark and bought it back in the spring of '93 I really didn't know that much about computers. All I knew was that I wanted one and a modem so I could join an online service and send email to friends. Since then though I've learned so much. Unfortanately now my Tandy VGM-225 monitor keeps on flicking on and off on me and sometimes I have to tap the side of the thing just to get it to come back on. It also makes this funny noise sometimes. Also,for the past couple of days the computer has been making this funny sound sort of like whistling whenever it's doing something like loading a file. Does anybody know what these things might mean? Someone told me that it sounds like my hard drive is about to crash. I really hope not because I can't afford to buy another computer right now. Also,what have been your experiences with Radio Shack? I've had both positive and negative experiences with them. For instance,in my opinion some of the salespeople work there tend to talk down to you,the pressure to buy is very high,and unfortanately I refuse to return to the Radio Shack I bought my computer at because the manager who works there now always asks me out and flirts with me whenever I go in there and I'm just not interested. He really makes me feel very uncomfortable. However we have several Radio Shacks here where I live so I can go elsewhere. Please,if anybody else has my type of computer I'd love to hear from you and your experiences with the Tandy computer and Radio Shack. Thank you. Maria Subj: Re:Any Tandy 2500 SX/33 Users??? Date: 95-09-12 16:34:57 EST From: Scott1701B I use a Tandy 3100, which is a 486SX. I bought my computer at Radio Shack because they are supposed to be "America's Technology Store!". My computer works very well, and I have since upgraded my memory from 4 to 12 MB, installed a fax modem, SB16, 4X-CD ROM, and I recently installed an Intel Overdrive chip upgrading my 486SX/33 to a 486DX/66. Unfortunately for Radio Shack, none of the additional hardware or memory I installed came from them. The sales staff of three different stores I visited left me so disappointed that I bought the new stuff at various stores (Comp USA, Staples, etc.). In fact, recently Radio Shack let me down again. My video board came with 512KB video that is upgradeable to 1MB. Because more multi-media programs require 1MB VRAM, I ordered the VRAM upgrade from Radio Shack. I installed it (Very simple, just plugging 4 drams into the motherboard) and copied the necessary SVGA driver, but...IT DOESN'T WORK! Radio Shack customer support has not given me a satisfactory answer, and soon I will probably just return the VRAM and live with the 512KB VRAM. Subj: Re:Any Tandy 2500 SX/33 Users???

Date: 95-09-13 20:28:52 EST From: MYebra Someone recently gave me a tandy 1000 tx, which I think is a 286/8mz. I am attempting to fix it up for my mother, but I don't have a monitor for it. The original monitor was a RGB high resolution color monitor cm-ll. Any tips on where to find a used one, and an approximate price? Can I try any monitor, black or white? I tried to plug my monitor into the tandy, but the pins were different. My computer is a 486sx w/ a svga monitor. Would it be compatible if I changed cords or would I mess up the monitor by doing that? Any help would be appreciated!

I am currently using Ontrack Disk Manager software to utilize the full capacity of the disk. Does any one make a co-resident Enhanced IDE Bios disk controller/High Speed IO card? If not, can the IDE Bios on the mother board be disabled? 2) In the future I would like to upgrade the Intel 486SX 33 MHz. Are the Intel 486DX 66 MHZ or the new Intel Pentium 83 MHz overdrive processors approved or recommended for a processor upgrade? 3) I recently purchased an educational software package from D.C. Heath. It runs on my 486 PC at work but will not run on my Tandy 3100 Model 10. The software attempts to load a TSR called MetaShel - MetaWindow Graphics Driver, Metagraphics Software Corp. The TSR never loads because the TSR thinks that MetaShel is already resident. Are there any known conflicts with Tandy Hardare and MetaShel?

Can anyone help me? Subj: Re:Tandy 2100, add a hard dr Date: 95-12-26 16:36:57 EST From: RSstarligh I have a Tandy also (1992). I replaced the 140 with a 240 first right away after I bought it. About a year ago, I replaced the 240 with a 540. I did not slave it in as a second drive because there really was no place to mount the drive. Also, the older Tandy sensations only have a 100 Watt power supply and no extra power connectors available for additional drives. I would probably have burned out the supply by over loading it with more devices than it could handle. If I were you, I'd try to sell that 140 for anything you can get, and just install the 540. Or you could keep it as a backup in case your 540 ever crashes. RSstarligh. Subj: Re:SENSATION 1 OVERDRIVE UPG Date: 95-12-26 16:41:46 EST From: RSstarligh SAIL, I upgraded my sensation from 25 to a DX4 75. I was also told that the 100 was for a 33 upgrade and would not work with the 25. I had no problems with the upgrade. I have experienced occasional sound problems since the upgrade, but that could be due to my pushing to hard on the mother board when I installed the chip. By exiting windows and re entering, the sound clears up again. The speed trade off was definitely worth the nusiance with the sound. RSstarligh.

Subj: Tandy 2100 Add HDD Date: 95-12-31 01:49:08 EST From: GCookJxn Adding a second drive really isn't a big deal. Current IDE drives draw v-e-r-y little current from the power supply and that should not present any problems. As for not having enough power connections, RS will be more than happy to collect 5 or 6 $s form you in return for a "Y" power adaptor for HDDs. No place to mount the drive? Trust me - this may sound hokey - but it works: Use velcro to mount the second drive, upside down if you have to 'cause it won't matter to the drive. Unless you throw the PC off the roof, it won't come loose or ever cause a problem. I have set up several PCs that way, including Tandys, in order to run 2 HDDs and CD and both floppys.

I realize I need to find out how to access the whatever passes for CMOS on the 286, and hope she has the original books (though any information would be appreciated), but I was puzzled when I couldn't even turn the computer on after swapping out the drives. What gives with that? Now I am thinking of just adding the newer drive into the second drive bay so I can at least turn it on to try to let it know it has a new drive, too. Any advice out there?

The manual talks about installing SIMMs on memory expansion adapters (???). Where do they go ? Banks A & B are already full with 1MB SIMMs each.

Date: 96-09-17 20:36:08 EST From: Kladell I have the 2100 486/SX-25. A friend said he has 486/DX-33 from a ZEOS. He put an overdrive chip in the Zeos. Can I put the Zeos 33 chip in my 2100. Someone said it may be sodered(sp). Does anyone know. Is it easy to determine if it is sodered?

You use jumpers and switches on the motherboard instead. There is no setup program.
