PCjr goes for over $150

I've always liked the Tandy better. With 3-5 ISA slots and using standard half-height floppy's, it was pretty expandable. I ran a company on three 1000SX's networked with arcnet and outfitted with 10-30 mb hard drives until 1992. I paid $2700 each for the SX's in 1985. They each had 384mb ram, 2 floppys, memory plus boards, digimouse/clock boards, a 12" CGA monitor, no hard drive and one DMP-130A printer. I paid $375 for enough 256mb chips to upgrade all hem to 640k. I later paid $1000 each for three 10mb hard drives. I was running a DOS accounting package that I used until I upgraded to 486's with WFWG 3.11 in 1993. I still have two of them, a 1000HD that I was given and a 1000SL that I paid a buck for at a surplus shop. All have original Tandy CM-11 monitors, two are on my home network with 10BaseT cards and one has a 286Express turbo board. I still have one of the original 10mb external hard drives but lost the controller for it. As I remember, Tandy 1000's used a non-standard IRQ for the hard drive controller. The strange IRQ, the female serial ports, the card edge parallel port and and the Tandy 1000 only keyboard were the strangest thing about them.
