Nice!

If you get on a waiting list you will get one. They may be available now.

Thanks.

Thanks for the parts list. Is the circuit board open source? Can I order one. I'd like to make one of these.

Jeff just came out with a uBPD - Universal BACKPACK Device that works with Model 100, 102, 200, NECs, EPSON PX-8, HX-20, Cambridge Z88, and more - also most anything with XMODEM support to. FYI. With regard to above, doesn't he sell the correct connection cables/adapters too?

Jeff restocks them frequently. If you get on the list, you'll get one.

Sometimes you have to explicitly format the RAM Disk before it will work. Could be the RAM Disk is bad. Or perhaps a driver chip or RAM module. Also, it could be a corroded or oxidized contact on the cable connector. I would suggest 1) Deoxit on the connector. Make sure the cable is good...

FWIW. The BACKPACK works with the HX-20 for storage. https://www.soigeneris.com/tandy-tpdd-2-backpack-drive-2

New to GoTEK. Can I put one in a NEC MultiSpeed PC-16-01 XT class laptop? It has two 720k floppies. Do I understand I need a specific GoTEK that emulates 720k floppies? Any recommendation? I'd love to put a Compact Flash Card in it but I don't think that is possible.

set mode Z88. I believe it is in the BPD+ Manual. But you need the right adapter. That is in there too or you can order one from Hey Birt! To me, the Z88 is better than the Model 100 because you can toggle from the Terminal program access to the BPD and the other apps. I don't know if it is...

I built one of these. Slightly different. But it can swap files and drive images. I think the BACKPACK (BPD+) sold by Hey Birt! also works with the PX8/HX20.

Did you know the Tandy Portable Disk Drive BACKPACK can be used with the Z88? Cool!

I wonder if the TF-15 ROM can be inserted into the TF-20 and convert the TF-20 to a TF-15? Phew, that was a mouth full.

What is the difference between the TF-15 and TF-20?
