Does anyone know where I could find a XT hard drive for a Tandy 1000? I bought a Tandy and the hard drive was detected at first but now all of a sudden it won't show up. So I'm guessing it's gone bad.

You could try looking online for one of these models.

But if they are way to hard to find anymore or way too expensive, I would see about adding a IDE controller card and just going for a regular IDE drive. Im pretty sure people do that for there Tandy 1000s. (Maybe im wrong)
I have seen the xtide board but they require assembly and all. Im horrible at soldering and don't trust myself to do that. Does anyone know of any pre-assembled units to buy or something similar?
There must be some other 8-bit cards out there that work on the Tandy no?
