Tandy 200

Tandy 200 - Portable Computer ( Cat. No. : 26-3860 A ) - 01

The Tandy 200 has batteries, which provide it 16 hours (!) of battery life. 

A lot of utilities are in ROM: a telecommunication program (telcom) which
used the built-in modem, a spreadsheet (light version of Multiplan),
text editor, calendar, address book and BASIC Programming Language. 

A 3.5" floppy disk drive (100 KB) can be connected via the RS-232.
A video interface is available, it provides a video display
(80 columns X 24 lines). 

The main competitor of the Tandy 200 was the Epson PX-8.
Note that several of the ROM programs were written by Bill Gates himself!
