Rare Tandy 1400??? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

O.K.  I've NEVER seen a 1400 with an 8088, though.  does anyone have one?

...
  Part substitutions like this are very common,
especially with very similar
...
  parts like the 8088 and V20. Sometimes manufacturers
run into problems
 getting the chips they need, and often have to take far more drastic
 measures, like coming up with kludge boards, piggybacking parts, hacking
 up the traces, etc., just because vendor A is saying "12 weeks" and
 customer is saying "next week", all for a $4.00 part.
