Hi Chrys, everyone,
Thanks for the urls and other info,
It's a
tandy 1000 SX
the monotor is
tandy RGB
collor monotor CM 5
The keyboard also has the tandy label, and the plug is full of pins!
I can't feel well enough to count em they are prety close togather.
I also got a micronics, I think, motherboard, it has an extra slot for a
memory card,
and can take 8 30 pin sims,
80386 cpu
a plug for a math co prosessor.
It was tossed in on the deal.
Thanks for the info again!
Pete
