I have a site that has seven 3000's running Xenix.   Tandy's changes to the
original IBM concept have to applauded.

On some models of the 3000, the power supply is a box with large vents, and
a fan is installed on the front of the computer.  It sucks air IN through a
washable filter.

Pressurizing a device instead of sucking air out (and consequently in
through every opening including the floppy drives) is the PROPER way to do
things.

These machines are the only PCs that you can open after a year and still
find them clean inside.   I don't know why the entire line was not done
that way.
