Old "Pizza-box" style PC - Dunno if it's a '286, but it's about that
class
of machine. Comes with an internal IDE drive (usually 40Meg - and was
Tandy's "SmartDrive" version, which I *think* was one of the rare 8-bit
compatible IDE drives). Built-in VGA, 1.44Meg Floppy, one expansion slot (I
would assume ISA, but don't quote me) comes with DeskMate, with IIRC the
"Recipe" option; as this was designed/marketed (believe it or not) as a
"Kitchen Computer," again IIRC. These were designed/marketed slightly
*after* I worked for Tandy as a sales monkey; I mostly knew/sold the units
in the SX/SL/TX/TL/TL2/TL3 class of machines.
VGM-220 Monitor, printer (DMP-130? - I'd have to look again) and manuals.
Some docs; I didn't take inventory. Does not have a keyboard - it uses a
Mini-DIN-6, but I don't know if they use an AT-compatible keyboard, or one
of Tandy's own creations. Haven't tested it, but I can.
If no takers by VCM-MW 2.0, it may enter an "undefined" state. It *may*
become "more classic" by gutting the case for a nice compact CoCo3
repackage, or it *may* become "less classic" by retrofitting a MiniITX-like
motherboard & turn it into a Linux router or fileserver.
Either way, I have no use for the hardware as-is, so either save it from
the evil "Merch" who intends to use it for cruel & disgusting things, or
weep quietly enough that you don't disturb my maniacal laughing as it gets
renamed Igor & goes on the operating table...
