  Tandy also had one that added a vidio and disk to
the M100 that
 used the bus connector. I have part of the manual for it.

I know about the DVI. But the PIC Disk actually let you boot CP/M.
What I forgot to mention was that it put the M100 into an all-RAM 64k
mode operating over the expansion bus. 
I see.  I'd already figured out on paper how to use the system bus plug
to "alter" the system ram map and add IO such as disk.  Tandy made that
very easy to do.  It would take little to create a 64kRam/IDE package
that would otherwise work through that port. Making it look good and
run on batteries is more of a challenge!
