Tandy 2000 was produced (misproduced) by Tandy about 5-6 years ago. A real
Orphan. It has an 80186 microprocessor, not sure about speed. An ALMOST-MSDOS
machine. No MSDOS software will run on it out of box; Tandy got a few
companies to wrtie 2000-versions of their software; Lotus was one, I
forget others. It did great graphics. A dead-end machine.
I always thought that the Tandy 1200 was the best machine they ever built--
a real truck. It was manufactired by Tandon. Tandy dropped it 'cuz
it wasn't precularly Tandy -- you could drop any card in it. Tandq
then opted for its 1000-series machines, which, if you bought one, pretty
closelty tied you to Tandy for upgrades, etc. They wouldn't take
full-size cards. Whay am I thinking about buying a Tandy?
