TANDY 1000 RLX/B  (250-1452/1453/B)       Features      Faxback Doc. # 1342

The 1000 RLX/B comes with MS-DOS 5.0 in ROM.  This is a significant
advance for those customers who are looking for the latest in operating
systems for their RLX/B.  It also allows the RLX/B-HD to be configured with
one 40 MB partition, instead of the two partitions required by MS-DOS 3.3.

The Automatic House, a DeskMate software interface for the X-10 Controller,
is included with the DeskMate 3.5 bundled with the Version B computers.
This allows your customer to easily automate their home by using X-10 and
the friendly face of DeskMate.

We have changed the joystick ports on the new version.  To use the
joysticks we currently have in the line, you'll need an adapter from a full
size to a mini-din plug.  The adapter is found under catalog number 26-284,
which can be obtained from your Radio Shack Store.

The DeskMate version 3.04.03 disks that are supplied with the NEW version
"B" of the 1000RLX (cat. 25-1452B) and 1000RLXHD (cat. 25-1053B) are very
different from each other.  Both machines come with two high density MS-DOS
5.0 disks, which are NOT compressed and ARE bootable.  Both machines also
include an America On-Line diskette.  The floppy version comes with five
high density DeskMate disks that are UNCOMPRESSED and the files are
directly accessible by DeskMate.  The hard drive version has two high
density DeskMate disks that contain a COMPRESSED version of that computers
DeskMate.  This compressed version can not be used for anything but
installing to hard disk.  Not recommended for the Floppy Version.
