For a number of years, I sold Tandy computers. They had a very unique BIOS
chip based upon their proprietary software which predated Windows. I can't
even remember the name of the stuff but it took Tandy a lot of years to give it
up. And it was basically crap. The 1500 was a very good machine, though;
prehaps the best they made.

Subject: Re: [TRLog] 286 Computer Question
I've had the same problem with my RS 286 --- and when I
asked the list, the response I got was some of the older
BIOS would have to be replaced... and it's not worth
it. It is cheaper to buy a used computer with the right
BIOS than install a new BIOS on an old machine (if you
could find one that would be compatible). So I bought a
used 486.
