This video is an overview of the network configuration of my Tandy 1000 SX. We'll take a look at the card itself (a Racal Interlan NI5210) as well the configuration of the packet driver and mTCP. Then we'll put it to use getting files from my Raspberry Pi and starting an HTTP server on the Tandy 1000.
Finally, I have a couple of updates on the Tandy 1000 RLX, so I share them here. Windows 3.1 now has audio support with the Tandy DAC driver, true-type fonts were disabled in Windows, and I used Cloudschatze's 0-wait-state driver to speed things up.
