   Tandy certainly never released the information.  I remember buying the   
   service manual, hoping it would, but nothing was there.  I wrote Tandy   
   at one point, and they said something about how it was proprietary.   
      
   I know I spent time disassemblying the bit that was loaded into the model   
   100 to drive the drive, but I never got far enough.   
      
   There was a two part article in one of the Model 100 related magazines   
   (I knew about that one, I have no clue if there were others), but it's   
   not like I can get my hands on them easily, and I sure can't recall   
   the specifics.  By the time I got the articles, reprints bought   
   from the magazine, I'd lost interest in the project.
