<p>Creation of article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Tandy 1000 '''SmartDrive''' was an early XT architecture [[IDE]] hard drive interface built-in to the 1000 [[Tandy 1000 T-Series|TL/2, TL/3]], [[Tandy 1000 R-Series|RL, and RLX]] models. Actually, the only difference between the original 1000 TL and the TL/2 was the SmartDrive interface. The drives were 3 and a half inch, half-height Western Digital hard disk drives. They were available in either 20 MB or 40 MB sizes. When the 1000 RSX came out, having a 16-bit bus, it used the [[AT-IDE]] standard. The legacy of these drives are this: not only was it the inspiration for the much later, after [[XT-IDE]] interface, it also was the beginning of hard disk drives fitting where once only 3 and a half inch floppy drives could go.<br /> <br /> {{semi-stub}}<br /> <br /> {{nav TRS-80}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Disk Drives]]<br /> [[Category:Radio Shack Peripherals]]</div>
