NA>WD> If you come across a vintage Tandy-200 laptop, I'll have it.
 
NA> I already have a Tandy 1000 and a 2500... both in great shape,
 
I'm especially interested in a Tandy-200 laptop.
 
I got mine around 1990 I think. It has a serial modem connector, basic
communication tools which in that era were "Wow", a text-processor with a
maximum file-space of 64KB. Also a spreadsheet. I used it on business and
colleagues were also like "Wow". On planes returning from meetings typing-out
my reports and sending them via a payphone in an airport...
 
Then I loaned it to some female friend of mine for some university work and
that was the last I saw of it. Small. Lightweight. Worked on an adaptor or 4
AA-batteries.
 
I'm aware about your Tandy-1000, which I considered a great machine (provided
it had a hard-card), but I fear the power-supply would blow here with the 220V
(actually 227V) and 50Hz.
