I have a Tandy HD 1000 Laptop (in fact there are several still out here in
the world; they operate and last great) and it runs on an 8086 proc.
Is there any news yet on whether this particular 8086 is going to be
troublesome? I beleive part of the OS may be in rom...I'll check into it and
repost. I know Tandy's flavor of DOS was mandatory for *some* reason, but I
haven't looked into it again since I first tried two years ago.
I would dearly love to use an 8086 laptop running ELKS, If I can get as much
use as I have out of DOS. I do mostly text reading/composing (in EDIT), and
also use a program called ODYSSEY for terminal emulation and dialup to shell
accounts. I'd like top someday use it to network to the larger linux machine
I'm building out of a 486 right now ( My main box is a P2...It doesn't get
linux untill I know what I'm doing).
