I believe we are discussing different things here. Biglinux boxes are by some
people attached to LCD displays that use a serial interface.
Your Tandy, in contrast, probably treats the display as any graphics card,
for instance CGA compatible. (Or at least BIOS must handle text on it.)
Thus, you can probably use ELKS right away.
Boot it and see what happens.
