I see.  I'd already figured out on paper how to use the system bus plug
to "alter" the system ram map and add IO such as disk.  Tandy made that
very easy to do.  It would take little to create a 64kRam/IDE package
that would otherwise work through that port. Making it look good and
run on batteries is more of a challenge!
