Home-based PCs such as the Tandy 1000 allowed up to three channels of sound for the and commands.

At its introduction, the 68000 was first used in high-priced systems, including multiuser microcomputers like the WICAT 150, early Alpha Microsystems computers, Sage II / IV, Tandy TRS-80 Model 16, and Fortune 32: 16 ; single-user workstations such as Hewlett-Packard's HP 9000 Series 200 systems, the first Apollo / Domain systems, Sun Microsystems ' Sun-1, and the Corvus Concept ; and graphics terminals like Digital Equipment Corporation's VAXstation 100 and Silicon Graphics ' IRIS 1000 and 1200.

The Tandy 1000 was the first in a line of more-or-less IBM PC compatible home computer systems produced by the Tandy Corporation for sale in its Radio Shack chain of stores.

Released in November 1984, the Tandy 1000 was followed by a series of models which appended two or three letters to the name, after a space ( e. g. Tandy 1000 EX, Tandy 1000 SX, Tandy 1000 TX, Tandy 1000 RL, Tandy 1000 RLX ).

Common models of the machine included the Tandy 1000, 1000 EX, 1000 HX, 1000 SX, 1000 TX, 1000 SL, 1000 RL, and 1000 TL.

For most Tandy 1000 models other than the compact EX and HX that did not come already equipped with a hard drive, Tandy offered hard disk options in the form of " hardcards " that were installed in one of the computer's expansion slots and consisted of a controller and drive ( typically a 3. 5 " MFM or RLL unit with a Western Digital controller ) mounted together on a metal bracket.

The EX and HX would be among the most popular of the Tandy 1000 line because of their low price.

The Tandy 1000 HX was the bigger brother of the EX.

The 1000 HX did not come with a hard drive, and Tandy did not offer fixed disks for it.

There was a quirk in the DOS 4. 0 environment that prevented that version of DOS from working with Tandy 1000 HX computers.

The DMA controller chip was included on the PLUS-type memory expansion board for the EX and HX, and on regular ISA memory expansion cards sold by Tandy and other companies for the 1000, 1000A, and 1000HD.

For their 1000 EX and 1000 HX models, Tandy Computer designed the PLUS expansion interface, an adaptation of the XT-bus supporting cards of a smaller form factor.

The Aster computer could use the software written for the popular Tandy TRS-80 computer while fixing many of the problems of that computer, but it could also run CP / M software, with a big amount of free memory ( Transient Program Area, TPA ) and a full 80 × 25 display, and it could be used as a Videotext terminal.

ELO's debut concert took place on 15 April 1972 at The Fox & Hounds Pub in Croydon, U. K. with a line-up of Wood, Lynne, Bevan, Bill Hunt ( horns, keyboards ), Wilfred Gibson ( violin ), Hugh McDowell ( cello ), Mike Edwards, Andy Craig ( cello ) and Richard Tandy on bass.

Despite predictions from the music press that the band would fold without Wood, who had been the driving force behind the creation of ELO, Lynne stepped up to lead the band, with Bev Bevan remaining on drums, joined by Gibson, Richard Tandy ( now on the Moog synthesiser ), Mike de Albuquerque on bass and vocals and Mike Edwards and Colin Walker on cellos.

Lynne, Bevan and Tandy returned to the studio in 1985 as a three-piece ( with Christian Schneider playing saxophone on some tracks ) to record ELO's final album of the 20th century, Balance of Power, released early in 1986.

The 1990s, though, were a turbulent time for graphics development, as the computer industry was collapsing, with long-time computer makers such as Tandy / Radio Shack, Atari, and Commodore / Amiga disappearing, and the PC and Macintosh markets were fighting for dominance.

Few personal computers used the 80186, with some notable exceptions: the Australian Dulmont Magnum laptop, one of the first laptops ; the Wang Office Assistant, marketed as a PC-like stand-alone word processor ; the Mindset ; the Siemens PC-D ( not 100 % IBM PC-compatible but using MS-DOS 2. 11: de: Siemens PC-D ); the Compis ( a Swedish school computer ); the RM Nimbus ( a British school computer ); the Unisys ICON ( a Canadian school computer ); ORB Computer by ABS ; the HP 100LX, HP 200LX, HP 1000CX and HP OmniGo 700LX ; the Tandy 2000 desktop ( a somewhat PC-compatible workstation with sharp graphics for its day ); the Philips: YES ; the Nokia MikroMikko 2.

The leather business continued, and eventually combined with The Leather Factory in 2000 to become Tandy Leather Factory.

All Tandy 1000 computers featured built-in Tandy video hardware with color graphics ( CGA compatible with enhancements ), enhanced sound ( based on one of several variants of the Texas Instruments SN76496 sound generator ), game ports compatible with those on the TRS-80 Color Computer, an IBM-standard floppy disk controller supporting two drives, and a parallel printer port, all integrated into the motherboard.

The earlier models of the Tandy 1000 had a composite video output, and could be used with a color or monochrome composite monitor, or a TV with an RF modulator.

Tandy bundled DeskMate, a graphical suite of consumer-oriented applications, with various Tandy 1000 models.

The original Tandy 1000 was a large computer almost the size of the, though with a plastic case over a steel lower chassis to reduce weight.

The cards for the 1000 HX ( and 1000 EX ) were ISA electrically, but used a pin header rather than an edge connector.

Most versions of MS-DOS worked with the 1000 HX, including DOS 3. x, and some later versions.

The earlier 1000 / 1000A, 1000 HD, 1000 EX and 1000 HX models, like the IBM PCjr, did not have a DMA controller, but could be upgraded with one.

The x-ray data are consistent with particle sizes of 1000 A or greater.

Liter quantities of Mallinckrodt, low sulfur, reagent grade carbon tetrachloride were saturated with Af and Af and illuminated for about 50 hours with a 1000 watt tungsten lamp at a distance of a few inches.

The cells were washed three times with saline, anti-human serum was added, the cells were resuspended, and the mixture was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min and examined for agglutination.

In most other contexts, the industry uses kilo, mega, giga, etc., in a manner consistent with their meaning in the International System of Units ( SI ): as powers of 1000.

In contrast with " binary prefix ", this usage is referred to as a " decimal prefix ", as 1000 is a power of 10.

The earliest evidence for fist fighting with any kind of gloves can be found on Minoan Crete ( c. 1500 – 900 BC ), and on Sardinia, if we consider the boxing statues of Prama mountains ( c. 2000 – 1000 BC ).

Food is consumed and transferred to points ( an increasing scale of 1000 points is awarded for each enemy burst in tandem with another meaning: one enemy burst equals one food item worth 1000 points, two enemies burst equals two food items worth 1000 and 2000 points, three enemies burst equals three food items worth 1000, 2000, and 4000 points, and so on ) which results in more lives.
