[comp.os.cpm] TeleVideo TPC 1

SRUSSELL@UONEURO.UOREGON.EDU (Steven Russell) (07/29/89)

I am the proud new owner of a TeleVideo TPC 1 CP/M computer... with a busted B
drive.  Anyone out there know where I can get a replacement drive for this
beastie, and if there is anything tricky to getting the B drive installed?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Go to wherever sells your favorite IBM peripherals and buy a
half-height 360k-style drive.  A friend of mine has one which came
with Teac drives.  He took them out and put them in his XT.  He
took the XT drives and put them in the TPC1 and it worked fine.  As
for installation, I don't know if you should let the dealer do it
or you should do it yourself for warranty reasons.
