  The Tandy 2000 is NOT an IBM-compatible like the 1000 series. but
instead, it will only run MS-DOS stuff that makes standard calls
to MS-DOS.  My roommate have tried it already and he has standard
MS-DOS stuff for his Zenith/Heath Z-100.  If in doubt, try it
on the 2000 first, I'm sure the store will glad to let you play
around with it since I'm almost positive it's now discontinued.
It's a fairly good buy if you want non-IBM compat.  The speed
is quite impressive 80% faster than std. 4MHz IBM-PC
