       A Dentist friend of mine is interested in purchasing a
system to run some "IBM-Compatable" Dentist Application Software
on.  He spotted a local special on the Tandy Model 2000 at his
local Radio Shack.  I don't have all of the details, but I was
informed by him that it runs MS-DOS, has 256K of RAM, and the
standard interfaces for a printer and RS-232 connector.  I think
he mentioned he could get a 20 Meg hard disk.

      I can help him evaluate what he is getting for his money in
terms of what parts of the system are included and are not included
in the package (as soon as I find it all out!).  What I need to
know is just how "IBM-Compatable" is this box?  I am not at all
familiar with any of the Tandy products.  Help anyone??????
