- IMHO - DON'T buy it.. get a 386 clone based laptop from another vendor.....
- stay away from Radio Shack ... I have a 2810 60 Mb and it was a good computer
- two years ago.. but is way overpriced and undersupported..
- I wanted to upgrade the machine to a 80386SLC type processor... but TANDY won't
- sell me the part... or if I lie and tell Tandy I'm going to return the logic
- board it will be only 500.00 to upgrade. AND TANDY WILL NOT DO THE UPGRADE
- I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF AND VOID THE WARRANTY...
-
- I'm really p.o.'d at TANDY
