I need to know the specifications of the FD1100 model, mainly:
o processor type and speed
o display type (mono LCD, CGA standard?)
o AT or XT bios?
o anything else that affects what software will run on one (sort
of 1989 vintage shareware?)
Very grateful for any information or where to find it!

Hello.

The specifications you requested in the order you requested them
(regarding the Tandy 1100FD "Laptop"
+Processor UPD70108-8 (i.e. NEC V-20, i.e. enhanced 8088)
 Blazing along at 8Mhz.
+Mono CGA LCD. Note: The display is quite readable with the backlight
 turned off. Running the computer with the backlight on seriously
 reduces the battery life (as I recall).
+XT BIOS (though I can't imagine why that matters)
+Software compatibility: I never had any compatibility problems though
 I used very few programs on it. Note that it has NO hd (only a 1mb
 RAM drive if you both a. can find the Panasonic EMS card for the CF-150B
 & b. are able to rip out the Deskmate ROM card and replace it with
 the EMS card. Don't know if it would actually work but you'll *never*
 find an EMS card so it doesn't reall matter! <g>). If your software &
 data doesn't fit on a floppy you may have a problem.

Cordially,
Richard Kanarek

Thanks very much - wanted to know abt the BIOS to see if progs
that call AT BIOS functions would work or not.
