1.) I've had several different 1000s and each of

if a disk wasn't available. Since the ROM included a FORMAT command, you
could make your own bootable disk.
I believe only the Tandy 1000HX had DOS 2.11 in ROM. All other T1000's do
not.
2.) There were about a trillion of these things made
so, the value is
pretty low. I have seen them for as little as $10 at the flea market
without a monitor or hard drive. The monitor could cost another $10 to $15.
The hard drive with OS might add another $10.
So, the value of the complete working system would probably be in the $30 -
$50 range...
I concur with this assessment.
