Hello, I just recently acquired an old Tandy 1000 TX which still works, but there is one problem. The message "Non-System Disk or disk error. Replace and press any key when ready appears when the drive is empty. It seems it needs a Boot Disk. I don't have one. What I need to knw is what the density of the floppy drive is and where I can get a boot disk. I would really like to get this computer working. If anyone has any knowledge of this computer and can help, please respond. Thank you.

Tandy 1000 TX This should cover what you need to know.

Thanks.. I'll try that number later.

Probably, your Tandy uses a 3.5 inch 720k diskette which would have the letters "DD" for double density on it somewhere. I used to have a few Tandy's and they all had 3.5 inch drives.

Yeah, it has a 5.25" at the top and a 3.5" at the bottom. When it boots, and the computer checks for a floppy the 3.5" light flickers which is what leads me to think THAT one is the A: Well, I just opened it up to see if I could find a "DD" on it, but couldn''t even remove the drive because of the very tight screws and the ScrewDriver was starting to ruin the screw. So I stopped. I'm guessing it still has the original drives. OEM if you will. ;-)
