No. They appeared to be junk when Tandy introduced them. However they
were 8086 based.

I gave away my ModIII in 1991 when I bought a 'real PC' which turned out
to be a POS and I should have waited about a month and I would have been
able to buy a 486 for the same price.

It came with Windows3.1 and MS DOS 5.0. I junked it and moved to a 486
machine that I built.

incorrect on both counts and they where z80.

later the z80 system design was upgraded to mod 12 with z80 and m6800 or
m6810.

i have one, but do not recall which motorola chip it was.
