Re: Specific references to Tandy in advertisements

I've noticed that quite a variety of add-on boards, hard cards and so forth
are advertised as being for PC/XT/AT and then also for Tandy 1000A/SX/SL/TL/etc.

It's one of the reasons I didn't buy Tandy when I bought my 286/20MHz machine;
I was concerned about availability of add-ons.  (Of course, price was a factor,
especially since I wanted 2MB of memory).

Apparently Tandy's proprietary motherboards have different bus addressing or
some other type of difference so that other companies either have to sell
Tandy-compatible items separately or not serve the Tandy owners at all on the
specialized hardware (hard cards, memory boards, etc.).
