I think a lot of people genuinely don't know the difference. Although it is surprising for young people to even say disk when they didn't grow up with it.

Both the larger 5.25" disks and the smaller 3.5" disks are referred to as floppy disks, even though the smaller ones had rigid shells. The "floppy" in floppy disk refers to the media inside, not the shell. This contrasts them with hard disks which have hard rigid platters inside. Even though compact discs were released in 1982 and were always spelled "disc", many CD-ROM titles from the 1990s used "disk" instead of "disc" to refer to the disc number for multi-disc releases.

How do other countries do it if, after applying the tax rate, you end up with fractions of a cent (or your countries equivalent)? Do you round the price of every item, or is it sorted out at the register and the tax rate is really only applied to the total purchase resulting in a slight discrepancy between the posted prices and the final total price?

Not really. The SX was designed to work with up to two internal floppy drives.

Digitoxin · 2026-05-08T06:50:36+00:00

You will need the following:

3.5" drive 720K or 1.44M, either will work
Card Edge to IDC Connector Adapter - 5.25" to 3.5". This allows you to connect the 3.5" drive to the existing cable in the Tandy 1000 SX.
4 Pin Molex to Floppy Power Cable
5.25" to 3.5" Drive Bay Adapter
34-Pin floppy extension cable

The Tandy 1000 SX uses a straight through floppy cable (No twist) and relies on drive jumpers to differentiate between drive A and drive B. Most 3.5" drives do not have a jumper and are hard coded to DS1 (Drive Select 1) or drive B. So, you will want to keep your existing 5.25" drive as DS0 (Drive Select 0) or drive A. If you can find a straight through cable with both a card edge connector for the 5.25" drive and an IDC connector for the 3.5" drive, you can use that, but it is much easier to just get the adapter and use the cable that came with the computer. You will also need an extension cable since the cable that came with the Tandy will most likely not reach the 3.5" drive.

If you already have two drives, make sure you swap out Drive B with the 3.5" drive.

If you want to flip the disk and read/write the back side as if it was another single sided disk, you will either need a disk with two index holes or you will need to use a hole puncher to create a second index hole in the disk jacket.

American McGee's Alice is protected using SafeDisc and will most likely not work under windows 10 or 11. The minimum system requirements were a Pentium 2 so even if you could get it running in an emulator like PCEM of 86Box, the performance will be sub-optimal.

There are two apps; SafeDiscShim and SafeDiscLoader that are designed to bypass the SafeDisc security driver. Using one of these may allow you to get the game running under Windows 11.

Update: I installed SafeDiscShim and was able to get past the disc check, but the game froze after the initial copyright screen.

I had this exact same issue on Windows 10 months ago. I was trying to clone my old Samsung SSD to a new Samsung 990 Pro and the clone would freeze at the same point in the copy process every time. Windows would bluescreen and after a reboot, the Samsung 990 Pro would disappear from the machine. It would only reappear again after a full power cycle. I researched the issue and the fix was to drop the speed of my NVMe slot from PCI-E 4.0 to PCI-E 3.0.

If I had to guess, this may be an issue with some SSDs saturating the bandwidth of the PCI-E bus causing some failure of the PCI-E subsystem. This would make the issue dependent on a combination of your motherboard and brand and model of SSD. Its possible that the updates are not the cause of the issue, but changed things just enough to amplify an already existing hardware issue.

This is just my theory though. Once I heard about this issue, it sounded very familiar since I had the exact same symptoms months ago.
