From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

could s.o. please add the year(s) during which this model was produced? thanks in advance! — MFH: Talk 20:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yo uber-geeks, someone HAS to know the years for this thing. Come on. One update in 2 years isn't a lot to ask. ;(—Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.30.8.92 (talk • contribs) 15:17, January 19, 2007

I have a BUNCH of old Tandy documentation, but it's squirrelled away in storage. I'll see what I can do.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Acidophilusrex (talk • contribs) 12:34, May 9, 2007

Not exactly an encyclopedic source, but: I remember that it was "teased" on the front cover of the December 1983 issue of one of the computer mags (maybe PC WORLD?), for their story about this "Windows" thing that Microsoft was going to be doing; there was a picture of various systems that would be able to run Windows when it finally came out, including an upcoming computer from Radio Shack . So I'd peg its release as early '84 (about the time I left my gig working at an RS Computer Center). No idea how long they sold it.--NapoliRoma (talk) 20:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not the first "Tandy"

In today's edit-o-rama, I removed the line

The Tandy 2000 computer was the first to have the "Tandy" logo on it.

The first "Tandy" branded computer was the Tandy 10 Business Computer System, which really ought to have a WP page of its own. Maybe I'll stub one up...--NapoliRoma (talk) 19:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Token-Ring" -- actually ARCnet?

The article mentions that the Tandy 2000 was "used with Tandy's Token-Ring network card"—could that actually have been ARCnet instead? The first network technology Radio Shack marketed was ARCnet; I don't recall them ever doing anything with Token Ring.--NapoliRoma (talk) 19:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
