I didn't know about the Kyocera connection,
however. Interesting....
Tandy may have *made* the m100; Kyocera *designed* it. I think Tandy
redesigned it (tweaked it) into the 102; they probably did the design
(based on the original Kyocera design) of the 200.
FYI, there are 9 versions of Kyocera's design:
Kyocera KC-85
TRS-80 Model 100
TRS-80 Model 102 (mostly the same as the 100, only lighter and cheaper)
TRS-80 Model 200 (clamshell, with larger screen)
NEC PC-8201 (Japanese version, with Katakana? charset in ROM)
NEC PC-8201A (American version)
NEC PC-8300
Olivetti M10 (American version)
Olivetti M10 (Euro version)
Not related, but possibly mistaken as such:
TRS-80 Model 600
NEC PC-8401A "Starlet"
NEC PC-8500
Olivetti M15
I don't know if Kyocera ever came out with anything after the KC85.
