I wish these were available 30 years ago.

I bought a new 1000 EX when I was in high school and always suspected the Plus ports were ISA compatible. I even tried to cobble together an adapter for a HD controller, but it never worked out...lol I eventually sold it to buy a new SL with a hardcard, but I always missed that EX.
I recently purchased another EX and these adapters were the first thing I bought for it so I could use an XT-IDE. Finally have an EX with the hard drive storage I always wanted.
Excellent product. Thank you!

Perfect ISA adapter for the Tandy 1000EX/HX

Perfect product for the Tandy 1000 EX/HX. Used it for a compact flash adapter for my 1000HX with existing original Tandy RAM/DMA board and serial adapter.
Shipping from Australia to the USA sucks but that is not the sellers fault (My father lives in Western Australia shipping suck to and from). Would by again and am planning on buying more products from this seller.

Perfect product to breathe new life into my Tandy 1000 HX

I recently picked up a Tandy 1000 HX and wanted to "trick" it out a bit, with the desire to add a Monotech XT-CF mini as well as a SIIG JJ-A21012 ISA I/O Card. I ordered two of these adapters to support this. This in turn allowed me to add a 256MB Sandisk CF card and a Xircom PE3-10BT Ethernet Network Adapter. And this product worked absolutely flawlessly. It's a perfect fit within the case, and I was even able to add serial headers in "front" of the XT-CF mini. I really couldn't be more pleased: my Tandy 1000 HX now boots from the compact flash card and gets on my SMB network using MS LAN Manager and TCP/IP!

So, if you too want to "trick" out your Tandy 100 EX/HX and already have a PLUS card, this is a product for you. Anyone who has interacted with the owner will also realize that making these types of products is truly his passion, and that's reflected in the communication and support regarding his products. I can't thank him enough for manufacturing this product and making it available for sale, it's greatly appreciated by retro enthusiasts!!

Works perfectly

It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Tindie wants 100 characters minimum to describe that it works, which is silly because "it does exactly what it is supposed to do" is accurate so I am just filling space.

Great addition to my Tandy 1000 HX

I had been wanting to install an XT-IDE into my Tandy 1000 HX for a while now and the only feasible way is with this adapter. I now have an HX system with a 128MB CF hard drive installed thanks to this little adapter. I highly recommend this adapter if you have a Tandy 1000 EX or HX system just begging for an XT-IDE upgrade. Communication with the company has been awesome as well. Whenever I have had a question or concern the owner has been right there to help. Because of this I purchased the Tandy 1000 EX/HX printer port adapter and Tandy 1000 SX/HX real time clock as well.

Brilliant!

Well designed and made adapters so that you can use 8-bit ISA cards in your Tandy 1000 EX or HX fitted with the PLUS RAM expansion card - ideal for adding an XT-IDE card etc Just plug in and play!
