I'm confused as to the true nature of Tandy. Was it a different computer than IBM? Or was it just an IBM with specific hardware (Tandy video card, Tandy sound card)? Since there's Tandy emulation in DOSBox, I believe it was an IBM computer. I have the KQ1 Tandy booter, and it works under DOSBox only when it's set to machine=tandy, so at first I thought Tandy was a different computer. But I also tried SQ3, and this game works when machine=vga AND when machine=tandy. Of course, I have to choose the relevant configuration for the game by running INSTALL.EXE. So I guess Tandy IS basically an IBM machine. So, what's the truth?
And if I'm on the subject, when I ran the configuration program for SQ3, I saw that the game has a support for Tandy 1000 SL, TL, HL series sound card, but when I choose it and run the game under DOSBox (when machine=tandy) the game kinds of hangs at the beginning. Will this sound card be emulated in future versions of DOSBox? I think what's emulated currently is only the regular Tandy 1000 sound.
And another thing - what is the PCjr? Will DOSBox support it one day in the future?
