And all the Japanese maschines (e.g. MSX, I've used some Sharp MZ-800 in the 80s) and Italian Olivettis. One could also object to "they had many Japanese manufacturers OEMing their consumer electronics." Tandy didn't OEMing Sharp, but Sharp brought computers to the market for themselves, not for Tandy. Then Tandy rebadged those for the US. Semantics, I know, but it's different from e.g. Apple using Foxconn. It's not like Tandy told Sharp what to build.
