I'm about to put a math co-processor in my Tandy 1000 SX, and I want to do some similar tests. Are these drawings your own files, or are they demos that can be downloaded somewhere?
Hi, don't worry, these are demos. :) Some of them came with different versions of Autosketch or AutoCAD (both can handle DXF files).The space shuttle was the Columbia, I believe. So file name was columbia.skd, columbia.dxf or similar. You can also load shuttle.dwg in ACAD 1.x/2.x and save it as DXF file (ASCII/Text version). I own some original disks from that time, but places like WinWorldPC may also have preserved early versions for historical reasons..
@@ion-shivs Don't desperate. Just install it in a VM or an emulator (DOSBox, QEMU, PCem etc). Later on, just copy the files over to your Tandy. To do so, use a null-modem cable and a matching program. I've got uploaded some videos about FileMaven, for example. Or just compress these files using PKzip, ARC, LHA, etc. and copy that archive onto a blank diskette. Good luck!

@@dreambyte7926 Thanks for the reply! I got the files.
Damn, I can't install it because the disk images only come in 3.5" file sizes, and my computer has 5.25" drives.

dreambyte Thanks for the advice. I’ll look into that.
