  • Need Tandy 1000 System Disks

    From Thomas Lake@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 13 06:44:34 2018
    I tried oldskool but all the links are broken and the email address for contact is no good. Does anyone know where I can get system disk images for the original Tandy 1000?

    I struggled and struggled with this until finally I gave up and put a Gotek in my Tandy 1000 EX. Turned out to be a great idea. I found disks online and booted from my USB flash drive. I even managed to get a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter so that the Gotek is
    internal to my 1000 EX.

    I found software (legally) here:

    Thanks. It turns out my router was blocking that particular site for some reason. It happened when Time Warner switched over to Spectrum. All the other FTP sites I visited worked.
