Both the 2000 and 1000 had interesting deviations from the PC "standard".
The 2000 was a "720K" 5.25" disk format.

The 1000 did not use DMA for disk I/O, somewhat like the PCJr.

In stock form the 1000 did not use DMA, but any of the Tandy, and many of
the third party memory expansion cards added DMA to the system.
Even a dual 360k drive 384k RAM T1000 was a pretty decent machine IMHO.
At least it came standard with a printer port.
