Just wandered in here myself, actually - had a hankering to putter
around with 8086 assembly recently and have set myself to the task
of
developing a reasonably performant blitter for TGA 320x200x16 mode.
Still in progress at the moment, but I may as well share it here
once
I've got something worth demonstrating :)
What about the rare 640x200x16 mode? I think only Deskmate uses that
one?
(there are, IIRC, 136 unique combinations of 16-color pixel pairs,

(Though, thinking about it, there are probably fewer than 136
"average" colors that these'd work out to. Should look into this
sometime.)

There are still people here and some of us still use
the TRS-80 and Coco all the time.

I've never owned either of these but would like to!
I've just had Tandy 1000's and 2500's.

They were just PC's. I had a few of them, too, but never saw any reason
to keep them.

I had a Sperry HT from college, but when I got my new 386 after
college,
it was Yesterday's Jam (if any of you watch The I.T. Crowd).
Then much later, you want it back to remember the good times you
had with
it.

My daily driver for writing is my Tandy 200. Got a collection of
100s that I rescued off ebay. I'd like a tandy 1000 HD, the fanless
one
- at some point. I'm a fan of low power/fanless machines.

My 1000 RLX I think is fanless... or so quiet I don't even hear it.
It still has the factory 40 meg Seagate Xide drive, in perfect working
order
or at least for being as old as it is. It doesn't get used very often anymore.
I was a huge fan of Deskmate; most of my term papers and projects for
middle
and highschool were written on that. I eventually moved up to Lotus
123,
Wordperfect 5.1 and Harvard Graphics on the 1000, it was a pretty good setup.
