James Napper Tandy ( 1740 – August 24, 1803 ), in Ireland, began his career at the Dublin Corporation.

Her career began as a child actress in radio and television, and has spanned virtually all forms of stage and screen ( large and small ) dramatic and comic entertainment --- including, as a teenager, playing the daughter of a lawyer and a former fashion buyer ( Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy ) on the short lived NBC radio comedy-drama, The Marriage ( 1953 – 1954 ).

Tandy was founded in 1919 as a leather supply store, and acquired RadioShack in 1963.

The Tandy name was dropped in May 2000, when RadioShack Corporation was made the official name.

Tandy's son, Charles D. Tandy, turned it into a leathercraft company when shoe rationing in World War II almost killed the business, and later expanded into selling leather and tools to make such products as wallets.

After a struggle over the company, which saw the Hinckley name dropped, Tandy made another change in 1963, when it bought the ailing RadioShack.

This was especially true when OS-9 was available for popular 6809-based computers such as the FM-7, FM-77, and the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer and its near-clone, the Dragon.

Tandy was working late one night alone in a supposedly haunted laboratory at Warwick, when he felt very anxious and could detect a grey blob out of the corner of his eye.

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 ).

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.

While the Tandy 1000 had three XT-compatible expansion slots ( with some slight differences ), early Tandy memory upgrade boards took up two of the slots to get to.

It used a 7. 16 MHz 8088-2 processor, had 384k of memory ( upgradeable to on the motherboard ), came with either one or two 5. 25 " internal floppy disk drives, had the light pen port ( not a serial port ) like the original Tandy 1000, and lacked the volume control and headphone jack of the TX ( also like the original 1000 ).

* 1977 – Tandy Corporation announces the TRS-80, one of the world's first mass-produced personal computers.

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.

After the Aster having been a few years on the Market Tandy released its own improved model, the TRS-80 Model 3 computer which solved many of the same problems that the Aster also had solved, but the model 3 still did not fully support CP / M as the Aster did.

The BASIC appears to be identical to Tandy Color Computer's Extended Basic.

This led to the development of NitrOS9 for the Tandy Color Computer 3.

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.

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.

Competitors included the Tandy VIS and Commodore CDTV.
