Hi everyone.

I recently received a Tandy 1000 and both floppy drives appear to be dead. What I wanted to ask is this:

1. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement black floppy drive?

2. Can I use any black 5.25" floppy drives or does the Tandy require specific drives for the 1000?

3. Finally, is it possible to use 1.2MB floppy drives on an original Tandy 1000? Will the BIOS see it properly?


Thanks
John

I have 1 Black face floppy you can have if you pay the shipping. I don't know about 1.2 drive butt I just installed a 1.44 floppy in my 1000 ands it saw it as a lo density drive. I didn,t do anything to the bios or anything. So I would say that it would see a 1.2 if it can see a 1.44/ 3.5 floppy.
