[QUOTE="Carroll, post: 416967, member: 9246"] This thread made me remember the second computer I had, a Tandy 1000 (even had a hard drive!). The HD didn't want to start right off, and a guy I knew that had the same set up told me that he would tap the hard drive with a screwdriver handle, and the drive would start right up! So I did that, left the box un-fastened, and whenever I turned it on, used the screwdriver as he suggested...it would work fine for that session. I called it my......wait for it...........................................................my "Tandy Whacker Computer". LOL [/QUOTE]
