1 or 2 Tandy 2000's for trade

[Richard A. Cini]

Too funny. Well, at the time I didn't know the value of an old machine. We
used them in the stores for the SOS system (after they decommissioned the
Model III's) and before they moved to Xenix on Tandy 3000's with multiple
serial ports. The machines behind the counter were neutered 1000TL machines.

Definitely home grown system like the others. I remember going from store to
store in Nassau County helping the more clueless store managers setup and
install the system. It literally came out of Fort Worth as a kit of boxes
based on the store size. Xenix was delivered on a DC-60 (or DC-100) tape and
you booted a floppy and, I would guess, mount and dd the files to the HD.
