We have two Tandy 1200HD systems.  They're great, particularly for $2000.
One is configured with an IBM mono card and screen, since Tandy's were the
same price, the other with an Everex multifunction screen adapter.  We've
plugged in 3COM Ethernet, AST cards, and they all work.  Software seems
quite compatible -- everything works including persnickety things like
Flight Simulator.

My main complaint is that the keyboard is a Keytronics with mushy feel and
switched \ and shift keys in the lower left.  But that's not much of a
complaint.  We'll certainly never buy an XT again unless IBM drops the
price down to $999 at Christmas, like they did with the Jr to clear them
out before they cancelled them.
