cant help but laugh at the "connect to the internet.. in MINUTES!" and today my main gear stays connected 24/7 lol

my external usr 56k couldnt ever manage full speed (crap POTS) but even 33.6 was magnitudes better than my 1st 300 baud for my c64, and later a 14.4 that you cradled the handset on the acoustic coupler.

my tandy model 4P (Z80 cpu, 2x 5.25 floppies, 128 ~~megs~~ kilobytes ram bank switched) had a 1200 built in, as well as my tandy 100 "laptop" with its 300 baud <- that thing rocked, keyboard is still better than prolly 90% of the keyboards on anything today, laptop or desktop. excepting the original IBM keyboards. freakin tanks those things (they weigh more than some entire modern computers) and i still have a couple. retro build here i come 5.25 MFM hard drives for the win! well perhaps not but still..

CP/M, win3.11... dos 3.3 good times

The issue I seem to remember with the later Tandys were they cost a shitload and their latest model that I remember looking at at the time still had CGA so you had to do a EGA upgrade on it right out of the box. Was that the T1000 (Cyberdyne model) Huh

Funny you have MFMs around, I made a living off of converting MFM's to RLL's, can't remember how many st-225's I converted to st-238's. I remember having to goto Ms-dos from cpm for games on my Zenith 5150 back then. I'd love to have that old system now just for the gold recovery, That whole board was gold including all the trace lines!
