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! (www.old-computers.com) |
