To help move them along, the Tandy 1000 is an
interesting machine. I'm
not sure about the straight 1000 model, but variants of the 1000 have DOS
and even DeskMate (Tandy's windowing environment, which I believe was a
tailored version of early MS windows) in ROM.
The Tandy TL/2 in particular is one of my favorite development machines -- if I
lock up the machine due to a bug on my part, I hit the reset button and I am
back in DOS in 2 seconds (that is not a typo, only 2 seconds). DOS in ROM is
cool :-)
