[comp.sys.laptops] Tandy WP2, machine info from Tandy?

blk@mitre.org (Brian L. Kahn) (03/02/90)

I have a Tandy (Radio Shack) WP2, and I am trying to find info on
writing a program for it.  The machine is a 3 lb. word processor with
an 8x80 char screen and full keyboard.  It has built in "applications"
but they are really wimpy.  It has a RUN function for starting up a
program if you happen to have one loaded.  The processor is a Z80, not
CP/M or anything.  

Apparently Tandy considers the particulars of this machine to be one
of the great industrial secrets of this decade.  No way they'll part
with any info unless you represent a major software developer.  Anyone
have a clue as to how it works inside, or how to find out?  I can't
pull out the ROM and read it from some burner type of device.

thanks,
