Hi.  Recently, I was given a Tandy 2000.  That's it.  Just the 2000.  No
keyboard, no monitor, just the CPU and 2 disk drives.  I opened it up, and
found 256KB RAM.  The Radio Shack guy (who was helpful and seemed to know
what he was talking about - believe it or not) says that it's got a 80186,
and that while it's Messy Dos compatable, it's not PC compatable.  It's also
very obsolete.  My question is, what can I do with this thing short of tying
a chain to it and using it as a boat anchor?  I'm going to the Trenton
Computer Fair in a couple of weeks, and can hopefully get a monitor and
keyboard *real* cheap.  Assuming this, is there any support for this beast?
Any user groups?  Anyone out there actually still use one (and not as a boat
anchor)?  Thanks in advance for any responsed I might receive.
