No. They appeared to be junk when Tandy introduced them. However they
were 8086 based.
incorrect on both counts and they where z80.
later the z80 system design was upgraded to mod 12 with z80 and m6800 or
m6810.
i have one, but do not recall which motorola chip it was.
I gave away my ModIII in 1991 when I bought a 'real PC' which
turned out
to be a POS and I should have waited about a month and I would have been
able to buy a 486 for the same price.
It came with Windows3.1 and MS DOS 5.0. I junked it and moved to a 486
machine that I built.
a lot of people got burned by 286 and 386 systems. but intel had regain
their development money some how.
