[comp.sys.tandy] Tandy 4025 LX - Junk or Not???

maoursler@miavx2.ham.muohio.edu (02/25/90)

Hullo,

    Here at Miami University, we are evaluating a Tandy 4025 LX
    as a possibility for upgrading our CAD lab.  This would
    involve purchasing about 20 machines.  Tandy has been good
    enough to loan us a machine for our testing purposes.  Now
    the bad part...

    It doesn't seem to be doing very well.  First off, this baby
    comes with 1Mb of extended memory.  The driver that comes
    with the machine TEMMLX.SYS is supposed to be the one to use,
    but when we load it in the config.sys file we get the
    following error:

		new other board added
		Installation Failed

    What does this mean??  Why does the driver not work??

    In addition, we have tried 3 different 80386 specific
    packages on this machine, and ALL have FAILED to work.  Huh?? 
    We are confused.  We even took it apart to make sure that it
    really had an Intel 80386.  (It does, or at least that's what
    the chip says)  Why does this beast not seem to work so
    well???

    Has anyone else out there used one of these, or heard about
    them.  All information is welcome, as this is a rather large
    purchase order.  As it stands now, Tandy won't make the sale.

Thanks in advance...

Sir,

I have sent you several emails on this subject, but since you failed to
provide a mail path that started at a machine that is registered, they
apparently have gotten lost.   Please email me directly and I will convey
the information I have.  Thank you.
