I was wondering if there is anybody out there who has upgraded a
Tandy 1000A (I believe the second version of the 1000 Tandy put out)
to get it to run faster and/or to enhance the video quality.  I already
have an 8087 math chip installed and am looking for something to boost
the speed of the main processor like a turbo board with an 80286 processor
and perhaps a slot for an 80287 chip also.  As far as the video goes,
if anyone has any ideas, experiences, etc. with trying to upgrade the
video output on this version of the T1000 I'd be glad to hear them.
I've gone to the local Radio Shack and nobody there appears to know of
any way to upgrade this machine along either of these lines.  Thanks
in advance.
