Wow ... now ... the Tandy 2000 (TWO thousand) had the distinction of an
80186 processor, the only 80186 PC that I ever encountered.  Not sure if
the T1K had the 186 or not.  Check.  These were fun machines, not to be
confused with TRS-80; they're real PCs (ie: INTeL/IBM class stuff).

The Tandy 1000 looks (to me) rather like a PC jr.  I don't mean that in
a negative way.  More like "what the IBM PC jr wanted to be when it grew
up" kind of way.

If that's an SX/TX, then it probably has a 286 instead of just an 8086.
