A Tandy-1000 EX, 256K mem., no hard drive, 1 low density 5 1/4 floppy.
Still have it, still works, although it doesn't do Windows very well Same here. Boy, was I in heaven when they made that multi-port hookup and sound effects cartridge. I also liked the music emulation cartridge. You could make some kick-ass music with that thing. |
