They are not quite the same.  The 1100FD does not have a backlit
screen and cannot be expanded with an additional meg of RAM. I think
it must be more like a CF150A or something.  Both have DOS 3.3 in ROM,
but the Tandy also has the Deskmate interface and Deskmate's word
processor and spellchecker in ROM -- not great software, but handy if
you're stuck without and editor.  I like my 1100FD a lot.  No
backlighting means 3 hours or more on battery between recharges.  The
Panasonic sounds good, too, I almost wish I'd known about it before I
bought the Tandy!
