I completely understand your (your mom's) dilemma. I too had
disk space problems using large software packages like word
perfect...even with a 3.5 inch disk.
Fortunately for me I found a company that sells TANDY 1000
compatable products for reasonable prices, after _MUCH_ searching.
There is a company in Houston by the name of MegaHaus. I
purchased my first 32M hard drive for $329 +tax from them...
unfortunately, it had a defect but MegaHaus refunded my money.
That drive was a Miniscribe...but the one I have now is a Sanyo.
I haven't had any problems thus far...so I reccommend buying
a 32M Sanyo (42 ms) from MegaHaus. Oh...this too was $329 but
their prices fluctuate each month.
Good Luck....if you have any more questions, respond to me
directly.

I am also running a HD from MegaHaus (48MB) and also had problems with the first drive they sent. They seeme to stand behind their products and give fast (overnight) and professional service when you have a problem. I add my recomendations. =================================================================== :Bo Newman newman@inco.uu.net uunet!inco!newman : :McDonnell Douglas Electronics Systems Company (MDESC-WDC) : :McLean Virginia : :Voice Mail USA (202) 310-2730 : :Fax USA (703) 883-3889 : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : ALL STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY : ===================================================================
