Well this is one that I got from a car
boot sale in 2001, it didn't work when I first tried it
and was one that I kept putting to one side untill I had
a while to try and sort it out, as it was one that I only
managed to get a picture on occasionally. I tried to get
this going a lot of times but even when I did manage to
get a picture up I couldn't get into the bios to check
the settings or anything and it wouldn't boot. Then one
day while I was looking around the internet I happend to
come across a site that had got a manual for the Tandon
so I downloaded it and after a bit of reading I found
that you get into the bios by holding the ESC key when
you turn the power on. Once I managed to get into there I
found that it had been set up to boot from the hard disk
only, so I adjusted that to floppy first. Then I
transderred the system files from the floppy to the hard
disk and it has been booting fine ever since. I am still
not sure why it didn't always get a picture but that
seems fine now. This is a 386-16 with a 387-16
coprocessor, it has 8MB of RAM made up of 8 x 30 pin
SIMM's, a 3.5" floppy disk drive & a Conner
104MB hard disk. It has a PS/2 keyboard connector, 2 x
serial ports, parallel port and onboard video which is
controlled by an additional board that is connected
parallel to the motherboard. Although this computer is of
the ultra slim design it still has room for 1 full length
16 bit ISA board and 1 short 16 bit ISA board. This is
installed with DOS 6.2, Windows 3.1 and MS Works 3.0
