The 2000 and the 1000 were remarkably different beasts. The 2000 had a basic speaker that did beeps. There was a rumored TV board but I have never seen one in the wild. Fun tidbit, the 2000 loaded BIOS from floppy (a 720k 5.25 inch floppy). The built in ROM was a simple boot loader. The 1000 was mostly compatible with the XT/jr with some added sound and graphics capabilities. I have working models of the 1000 hear that I cant test with Tandy's Basica if you'd like. My 2000's are iffy so I can't make any promises. Send me the pokes you'd like to try.

I need someone with access to a working Tandy 1000/2000 to do some poking from basic of the sound chip, since there's an issue I'm running into with a possible incompatibility of the Tandy 1000/2000 NCR8496 PSG (sound chip) and the more common SN76489/SN76496 PSG which the colecovision etc used. -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu@gmail.com jgevaryahu@hotmail.com
