The Tandy 1000 was a line of more or less PC compatible systems produced by the Tandy Corporation for sale in its Radio Shack chain of stores.

The machine was geared toward home-use and a modest budget, and it copied the IBM PCjr's 16-color capable graphics and 3-voice sound, but didn't use the PCjr cartridge ports. Most Tandy 1000 computers had MS-DOS built into ROM and could boot in a few seconds.

Common models include the Tandy 1000ex, sx, hx, tx, sl, tl.
