     I am new to this newsgroup.  My wife has Tandy 1000XL.
I would like to bung in the memory upgrade, a serial card,
and a hard drive card for an external.  (even an internal
HD would be okay).  Obviously I do not want to spend the
outrageous Rook Shak prices.  Soooo...
Could people out there in netland tell me what other 
merchandise I can use.

     Specifically :

	What is the serial #, memory speed etc. of the
	32K memory chips.

	What IBM compatible cards can I use for the serial line

	What IBM compatible cards can I use for the hard drive
	controller card.

     If I use a HD controller card, what hardware jiggling, if any,
do I need to do ?

	Thanx in Advance
