   I'd like to find one of those Tandy 1000 external floppy drives for my   
   collection, but they're ridiculously expensive whenever they show up.   
   Fortunately, the pinout is available in the technical manual if anybody feels   
   adventurous enough to try    
   connecting an external drive without the Tandy enclosure.    
      
   The Tandy 1000HX supported up to 3 floppy drives. In the schematics, the DS0   
   and DS2 signals route to the internal floppy header, and the DS1 signal routs   
   to the external header, so all three drives should be accessible   
   independently. If you only have    
   one internal drive, the external ought to show up as either A or B, depending   
   on which you have setup as the boot drive in SETUPHX. If you have both   
   internal 3.5" drives installed, then one of the three drives ought to show up   
   as C drive.
