Completely forgot the Tandy...
It works great now with this XT CF IDE model. The CF CARD is partitioned and all I have to is installing DOS and Windows 3.1

A peek from the rear of the machine:

I consider the project finished.
Guess that due to a lack of space, the 1000EX will soon have to find a new home.
:(

Nice work :)
Shame it'll have to go to a new home, but I understand. Whoever gets it will have a nice machine.

I guess it won't be a never ending story, but I have just built something new for my Tandy:

Have to flash the EEPROM now and test if everything is all right...

Neat :)
Is it some sort of XT IDE type board?
I see it says 4 in 1 board, so what else does it add?

@rubber_jonnie
It's a 4 in 1 board as you wrote, from Rob Krenicki:
https://github.com/rkrenicki/Tandy-EX-HX-4in1
It adds the following stuff:
- RTC (I have omitted the related parts, since I already have one fitted)
- XT-IDE
- 640 KB RAM
- RS232 serial port
But the most important is it has a passthrough connector, allowing me to fit a VGA card and a sound card.

The smoke test was OK.
The 640 KB RAM is also recognised... So far so good.
Further tests tomorrow.

Nice little upgrade that :)

A lack of smoke is always a good result :)
