My first computer was a Tandy so I was really excited to find these.

I am going to sell one, and use the other for my vintage video games. I just ordered Ultima V off amazon so I can play it in all of its original glory.

Man do I remember these , and the Coco by Tandy !
I can not even think about how many hours I put into these machines .
These where about the 5 and 6 type that I had bought , the first was a Mobo made by Eagle . Still have that board as it was one of the first ever made for sale outside of a large Company and for home use.
Nice find as I am sure that there are not many left in working order .

Yes, bought that Tandy TX 1000 from radio shack in the mid 80s or so. It cost me 1700.00 at the time. That was alot of money back then.
