Using HDD with Tandy mode?

Is something special required to get the HDD to work with Tandy?
It doesn't seem to recognize the disk. Perhaps I'm missing a BIOS file?

README
make_rom_with_tandy.py: A valid ROM is created for the Tandy model (tandy.rom) based on the original Tandy 1000 ROM, requires the XTIDE BIOS at address EC00h to work with HD images.

Nevermind, I figured it out: I had to load the XTIDE bios in BIOS options!
(under EC00 BIOS)

I had the same issue. You don't need the Python script at all. Just load an unmodified Tandy 1000 BIOS and load XTIDE at EC00 under BIOS. At least that's what I discovered. The readme is not as clear as it could be I'm afraid
Thanks for all the work you (@spark2k06) and others (especially @katune-sun) have put into this. I have followed your progress from the start but, unfortunately, understood none of it I'm afraid
