I had the 1000 TX as a kid. It had a 286 chip, but was still an XT-class system. The one I had originally had a hard drive (hardcard format, of course) and color monitor, but both of those parts failed after a while. By the time I got it to hack around on, it had an amber monochrome monitor harvested from an older computer (a Sanyo of some sort that I barely remember), and was floppy only. Since the computer was already a hand-me-down with mismatched parts, I was free to mess with it as I pleased. In addition to trying various hardware combinations, I also learned to program on that machine using ZBASIC. The one I recently bought on eBay is also a TX. It came complete with a 20 MB hardcard, Smartwatch clock chip, color monitor, under-monitor power station, dot matrix printer, print buffer, joysticks, and original software and manuals. Everything works perfectly (well, I haven't tried the printer yet). Edit: Here's a picture of my "new" system running Monkey Island: http://imgur.com/zlWs3hK http://imgur.com/zlWs3hK
