- The school that my church supports has a few Tandy 6000's sitting in the
- cellar gathering dust... I understand that they're old machines (8086's?)
- and that they're *not* IBM-PC compatible... but the fellow at Tandy said
- they're supposed to run Xenix!
-
- These things each have an 8-inch floppy drive (yes, they're *that* old) and
- a <whopping> 15 Megabyte hard drive. I've got the hardware, but no manuals
- and no software... Can anyone out there point me to some source for doc's
- and disks for these things? I'd *love* to be able to put them to use for
- *anything* (beyond being really ugly footstools).
-
- I realize this request may be rather obscure, so I've added it to my .sig
- in hopes that some day, somehow, someone will answer... (Like SETI, cxu ne?)

- P.S.: Will someone who knows anything about the old "Tandy 6000" *please*
- e-mail me? I've got the hardware, but no manuals and no diskettes.
