More Keen 6 covers for the SN76489 chip after an exhausting three days of work, I've put some more time into making this as it is one of my favourite tracks of the series, I'm quite pleased how it turned out. :)

@retroist My first PC type computer was a Tandy 1000 TX. What a great little machine (it replaced my VIC-20 and Commodore 64 at the time)!

Ok, finally finished backups of the pi3.
Filled up a 32 gig thumb drive! So much stuff!
Final step: backup of Tandy 1000 in progress.
I'm giving #EtherDFS a workout here. Exporting a directory of a fat32 thumb drive directly to the Tandy and the Tandy is making and writing zips to it!
Aha!
I'm running pc-compatible Deskmate 3.05 on my Tandy 1000 and I've always been confused about the lack of a 3-voice chip sound player when the #TVDog Deskmate archive at oldskool.org has a bunch of music files...
According to http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2024/07/tandy-deskmate-tandys-ace-in-hole.html
This is because generic DM 3 doesn't include the sound player, I need to grab it from DM 3.02 for the TL/SL!
In the Editor Wars front, I figured out how to make IBM E3 do word wrap.

Runs fine on my Tandy 1000SX!!
good, fast, excellent keyboard control.
Doesn't exit properly, gotta 3 finger salute to get out?..
I just stumbled upon this upgrade I would have leapt at a few years back when I was building up my "new" Tandy 1000HX:
Tandy 1000 EX/HX 3-in-1 V2 Adapter --- 640K RAM + 2x Serial + Parallel + XTIDE Upgrade by Rob Krenicki
https://www.ebay.com/itm/197473626636
It looks like the creator of this device, who posted the project to GitHub, has made his last production run, sadly. Several are available still on eBay.
It doesn't look like the RAM expansion has the DMA chip, but that really doesn't much matter. What a great unit. I upgraded my own 1000HX to this spec -- but did it the Hard way (note the capital H).

This is a drop-in upgrade for the Tandy 1000 EX or Tandy 1000 HX desktop computer. The Ultimate upgrade for the Tandy 1000 Enthusiast who wants it all! Tandy 1000 EX/HX 3-in-1 Version 2 Upgrade. Fully assebled and tested Tandy 3-in-1 V2 device.
TIL...
I always thought the light pen port on the Tandy 1000 was for a barcode scanner like the Model 100, but it's not! It's actually for a light pen (imagine a mouse you held up to the screen to use.)
