I happened to notice today that the older tandy machines are on sale for
real low prices.  While I know what the TX 1000 and the HX 1000 are (both
going for 199.00) I am not quite aware what the 1400 is other than that it
is a laptop.  The current going price on them is supposed to be $299.00.

Are they worthy?  Are they big?  What comes with them, and what can they do?
I am mainly looking for a computer no smarter than an 8088 with no better
than an ega 320x200 screen, about a half meg, and a ds/dd drive, that can run
on batteries.  Is this thing close?
