Tandy 10 Business Computer System
The Tandy 10 Business Computer System is a product developed by Radio Shack in the late 1970s as a business-oriented complement to its TRS-80 Model I desktop computer. Released in 1978, the Tandy 10 was built for Radio Shack by Applied Digital Data Systems, and was only sold by Radio Shack's dedicated computer center stores.
The computer is about the size of a two-drawer filing cabinet, with a monitor and keyboard built into a desk-shaped console, along with two 8-inch floppy drives vertically mounted in the pedestal. Features include:
- 8080 CPU
- 48K memory
- 80 x 24 video display
- Two dual-sided 8" diskette drives
- Dartmouth BASIC
- ADOS Disk Operating System
- Fortran IV language
- Assembly Language program language
The system did not sell in large numbers. Radio Shack's next business system is an extension of the TRS-80 product line, the TRS-80 Model II, released in May 1979. The Tandy 10 was discontinued in late 1980.
