I have a confusion about the differences between TANDY 3000 HL and
TANDY 3000 HD. According to the Radio Shack people the first is XT
and the second is AT compatible. In terms of harware structure,both of
them are using INTEL 80286 with a 16 bit data path and operating on a
8 MH clock. The differences that I can see are as follows :
    1- There is a hard disk on HD while a floppy disk on HL.
    2- Number and data bits of extension slots are different.
    3- HD can run XENIX while HL cannot (I don't know why.).
Would somebody please explain if these are the only differences and are
really these differences enough to make one of them XT and the other
AT compatible ?
Also, would you please comment on item 3 above ?
thanx.
