Strange it was a Tandy Computer Store Salesman that told me the 1000A was
a new version redesigned to be 100% IBM compatible...

Fool me once shame on you!

Fool me twice shame on me!

Actually when evaluating the 4000 for our school I found several major
hardware design flaws and lots of software incompatibilities, primarily
as a result of Tandy using a non-standard memory utilization that caused
programs like AutoCad, Personal Consultant Plus, and Minix to think there
was memory between 640K and 1 Meg. but it couldn't find the memory...

Typical Tandy...
