My in-laws have a tandy 1000RL without a hard drive.  Radio Shack sells a 20M
drive for $400.  The controller card is built into the drive.  There are no
slots for external cards.  I think $400 is way too much for a 20M drive, 
even including the controller.  Does anyone know of a third party vendor 
who has a cheaper compatible drive?

By the way, RS also wants $60 for a 256KB memory addition using two 256Kx4
drams!! I bought them from a local PC supplier for $11.

Thanks,
