I was able to pick up another Tandy 1400LT on eBay for a good price. This one has a much better screen, probably due to the fact it was taken better care of. The new one came with a home made cover.
The only issue is that the B: drive is a little sticky when removing diskettes from the drive. Of course, it's a special 26-pin drive connector (thanks Tandy) and replacing the drive is impossible. Or is it?
Enter the Gotek. I was able to source a card that will let me connect the 26-pin connector to a standard 34-pin floppy connector with power.
The Gotek arrived today, so I put Flash Floppy on it. The only problem is that one of the 7-segment displays is missing a few functional segments, but that doesn't hurt anything for what I'm doing.
Now to wait for the other parts and see if this works.
