yes, dos 5 successfully upgraded (using working 720k FD!) and yet i *still* have to merge the Tandy 1000TL2 onboard HD bios with the xtide cf (the .bin for 286 and better), which i can't figure out using debug command line :( any good hex DOS 5 utils out there that will let me dump mem address to a …

nope- its after i used fdisk on a dos 3.3 system. i have yet to upgrade to 5.0 - waiting on 720kDD disks from ebay. im just trying to wrap my head around how the XT-IDE boots- I do *not* have PC XT mem map memorized, lol! if the XTIDE-CF board is showing up, but boots from the C: old tandy HD, is …

@infiniteclouds read that! i also did that (CMD part in Win10) of course it didn't work. fdisk on DOS 3.3 gives me 4 options- #4 to list drives /partitions and the CF doesn't appear.

well- 6 months later and James P from the XT-IDE boards and Kevin from Lo-tech haven't responded to my emails asking for how-to. I have a beautiful condition Tandy 1000 TL2 with a nonfunctioning XT-IDE CF board (due to c800h conflict with onboard HD XT controller) needing a "simple" debug dump of …

Never seen one of these outside a Tandy catalogue so I couldn't resist. 286/8, 640K and the proprietary graphics/sound. Will probably move the 2MB EMS card from my XT over to this and maybe also the SB16. XT-IDE and a quieter fan mod also on the cards. ^^^^THIS! XT-IDE? the 8bit ISA card version …
