[comp.sys.misc] Seeking Info on Tandon PCX

davem@vaxwaller.UUCP (01/17/87)

I have the opportunity to purchase a Tandon PCX (PC Compatible)
at a good price and would like recomendations from those who
have had experience (good/bad) with one.

Specifically, 
   o How compatible is it?  What wont run on it? 
   o Is the hardware reliable? Are there any quirks?
   o I've been told the processor runs at 4.7 MHz but that they
     do some internal magic to make it an "XT-class" machine.
     What is this "magic" and how does it affect compatibility?
   o How solid a company is Tandon these days?  
   o What has been your experience with warranty repairs/service?

Thanks for your help.
