[comp.sys.tandy] Power supply transplant

demoydk@iitmax.iit.edu (Wanklerotary Engine) (04/07/91)

Hello, all you out there on the networld.  

Does anyone know if its possible to change the power supply on the
Tandy 1000 TL computer?  I WANT to add another hard disk, as well as
other watt-hungry cards and stuff.  I plan to get a 100+ watt PS unit
from Elek-Tek (a local computer discount store).

Is there any complications I must look carefully at?  

I know as a fact that this PS I will buy is too big for the Tandy.
I'll do one of two things:

1) Let it dangle external and somehow connect it to the case.

2) Get a bigger case for the computer. (Unbolt motherboard and cards and
   put them on the new case.)

Please...let me know.  If I can special order a PS that will fit perfectly,
that would be nice (although I think it will be mucho expensive)

Thank you for your support.
