The TL also had a digital audio chip/sampler so the music       app was pretty nice comparatively.               Over the Christmas holidays I picked up a Tandy 1000HX and have expanded it       pretty fully and, of course, it came with DeskMate on one floppy. It's fun to       play with. I've now got it installed on my "HD" which is a Lotek XT-IDE       controller with CF card. Also added a dual serial port and an NEC V20 for       15-20% CPU speed improvement over the stock 8088-2 7.16MHz.               Here is a gallery, showing her evolution over the past few months. Pretty       much done with the upgrade now, happily. (That 384K PLUS RAM card was an       expensive and elusive thing to track down.)              https://is.gd/YLslkS              Cheers.              bp              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Black Flag |
