Recently snatched this pretty little thing.
I knew from the pics that it most likely had a Tandy 1000 RSX motherboard (watched Necrowares #SepTandy vids).
But obviously the case is different, well the frontpanel is atleast.
Also theres a complete lack of Tandy branding.
In a remarkable condition considering the age:
Its not 2 buttons, just the one, And like the real Tandy 1000 RSX theres a complete lack of LED's:
"Ready-To-Run" windows!:
Almost looks unused, connectors are as tight as new:
Volume pot is not scratchy, but just as Necroware notised the sound is very noisy:
"Not for resale" and "-92", when was the 1000 RSX released?
Identical case mounting as the "real" RSX:
Comes with the standard (?) 2.5MB RAM.
I haven't done a component level comparison with a "real" RSX, but it sure looks the same to me.
And BIOS date of 05/13/92
And the PSU is even more pathetic then what Necroware found in hes machine, only 2.5A on +5v...
Well atleast its 240v and still works, and we found a Tandy marking!:
Anyway.
The system works great.
And BIOS looks identical to what Necroware showed in hes videos.
So if not an official Tandy, what do I have here?
