@freethoughtmusic: The Tandy 2000 was an oddball in those early days as it was one of the very few personal computers to use the 8 MHz Intel 80186 microprocessor, definitively better than the XT's 8088 and under most circumstances better behaved than the 6MHz 80286 uP used in the AT class machines... but incompatible with the IBM PC architecture, doomed from the getgo.
Probably still a bunch of those old 8088 XTs running. I have one stashed away somewhere from the same period. I never had the heart to throw it out. I bet it would start right up.

Wow, who didn't advertise computers in the 1980s - Shatner, Cosby, and now Bixby?
