Anyone out there with suggestion or clues on this
oddball?
Tandy 25-1053 1000HX PC.
Interesting 8088 non-isa monoboard with what appears to be mono video
and integral keyboard. The PS is very small, less that 55W and the MB
is mostly cmos save for the cpu and support chips.
I'm trying to decide if I'll gut it for the powersupply and floppy or
find a use for it. One limiting factor is it down't appear to have a
serial port.
If I can find a schematic I may try a hack I've considered. Putting a
8085+mmu in the 8088 socket (it's been done going the other way!) and
changing the rom so I can run cpm-80.
First chance I'll drop by Tandy... knowing them they may have the service
manual for it.

that is that small apple //c looking pc clone? has dos2.1 in rom IIRC, and a
bit nonstandard card slot(s). i think the 1000ex was similar...
