[net.micro] Tandy TRS-16 on display at UNICOM

gordonl (01/23/83)

A Tandy (Radio Shack) model TRS-16 running XENIX will be on
display at UNICOM, at the Microsoft booth.

XENIX (Microsoft's version of real Bell UN*X) is bundled with the
TRS-16.

I can't leave unchallenged Gordon's comment that "XENIX is bundled
with the TRS-80 model 16".  If you need anything but the kernel and
a few utilities, it's an extra 50!

"Enough comes with the machine to run applications software.  That
includes the Xenix kernel and a few utilities, such as a limited text
editor.  Tandy offers additional utilities, such as extensive
software development tools, better text editors, and a C compiler,
in a 250-module package priced at 50."
