Yes, the Tandy 2000 really does do 8 colors with 640 x 400 pixel
resolution. From what I have been able to tell from using the GW-Basic
that comes with the 200, itsseems they really do use 3 bits per pixel.
The local repair shop only got schematics for the text card and the base
unit, but the tech said full info should be available in January.

Another article said that they used a 188 chip. This is not true.
The 2000 uses a real 186 chip with 16 bit data paths.
