"Whimper" newsletter

[Richard A. Cini]

All:

    Does anyone know if scans of the Tandy newsletter ³The Whimper² exists
on-line? I did some Googling tonight and came up mostly with stuff on
Jessica Tandy whimpering :-) I¹ve been told these newsletters had some good
T2k info in them but I don¹t see them on-line anywhere.

    Specifically, I¹m fishing for information on getting MFM hard drives
working on Tandy 2000 machines. I have two machines with to seemingly bad
Tandon TM502 drives. I saw another thread from last month that complained
about the poor quality of the Tandon drives, so it¹s probably bad drives. I
have an ST225 drive that I want to run externally as a test but I haven¹t
been able to locate a manual on the T2k HD controller nor the external drive
(25-1025 I think). I don¹t want to connect it blindly before I¹m confident
the controller is setup properly. Irrational fear maybe but I want to
proceed methodically.

    Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Rich
