Description
The Tandy 1000 RL was a intel 8086 based PC Compatible with PC Jr. features released sometime around 1988-1990. It's basically one of the later XT Clone models, except this version premiered in a low-profile chassis. It shared the same chassis with the 1000 RLX, RLX/HD, and RSX.
Technical Details
The Tandy 1000 RL was the last version of the 1000 to use a 16-bit Intel 8086 generation CPU. It featured MS-DOS in ROM, portions of Deskmate in ROM, and had an XT-IDE interface on the motherboard for the "HD" version of this machine. It was also the last machine to use the "Tandy Video II" CGA/PC Jr. compatible standard. It was the budget model of the line that included the RL/HD, RLX, RLX/HD, and RSX.
