tandy CMOS setup
chip...@pop.state.il.us
Does anyone know what keystroke (PFkey, spacebar, etc.) you use to toggle
among options in Tandy 1000 setup? Specifically, I am trying to change the
monitor setup from monochrome to color.

A special program is required to update the information. I have some of
the setup programs if you will let me know what model you have.

If it's an original Tandy 1000, 1000SX, or 1000HX, it has no CMOS seutp. It's
a PC, not an AT. On the 1000SX, one of the dip switches (1?) told it to boot to
a mono card if one was installed.

On the 1000SL's, TL's, and RL's, changing from mono to color is not a
setup option. Instead, <alt>-<cntrl>-<shift>-V reboots the machine and
switches types, saving the type in EEPROM.

The Tandy 1000 is an XT-level computer and does not have a CMOS setup. The
change would have to be somewhere on the motherboard's DIP switches or jumpers.

I have a Tandy 1000, and would love a copy of the Setup program if you
have it.

Ok, I feel stupid now. according to faxback document #17352
you have to use the function keys at boot-up to change settings.
If you do nothing , tandy 1000 boots into color CGA mode.
If you press F1 right after the computer beeps but before DOS starts,
then it will be in Mono mode.
If you press F2, it will be in TV Mode - in which you can use a TV
set as a moniter.
F3 key- swaps drive letter designations.
F4 key- boots at Slow Speed. (4Mhz instead of 8)
Hope that helps.

Hi
The Tandy 1000 I have, has a protected boot drive or something.
Is there a way to boot the machine with an autoexec.bat
in the regular PC fashion.

To get a writeable AUTOEXEC.BAT, run the system setup program and tell
it to look for AUTOEXEC.BAT on A: or C: (if you have a hard drive). The
drive you're referring to is a ROM drive. See the 1000-series FAQ:

You may not have a color graphics card (CGA) installed in your system. Early
1000's had only monochrome graphics cards installed, you had to purchase (at
additional cost) a CGA card.
