Hardware corner

Abstract

The Tandy 1000 sells for just $1199 with 128 thousand byte main memory and one disk drive. It can use disks intended for the IBM Personal Computer and will run most of the software packages designed for the IBM machine. Not only is its price over $1000 less than its IBM counterpart; this computer comes with a bundle of free software that includes word‐processing, filing, spreadsheet and communications. What it does not have is the ability to use IBM/PC plug‐in adapter circuits to connect peripheral devices. The Tandy 1000 is available at Radio Shack Computer Centers.
