Actually, just about every single MS-DOS machine that Tandy sells right
now is actually a Pansonic.  Sometimes the Tandy version is a bit
different, like DeskMate in ROM.  The Tandy 2810 is actually the
Panasonic 270, just like the Tandy 1100FD is a Pansonic 150B, minus the
backlight, and RAM expansion, but with DeskMate.

The GRiD 1720 is really a GRiD, the company was bought out by Tandy
some time ago.  Basicly, Tandy just bought the right hardware.  Tandy
hasn't made original equipment for some time now,  I think the Tandy
6000 was one of the last.  I'm not even sure the CoCo was entirely
developed by them.  Still, it's good equipment.  My TRS-80 M100 (custom
manufactured by Kyocera for Tandy) is still working fine, after five
years.
