A Tandy 4000 is a 366DX/16. The main board can directly support up to
16 meg of RAM and will accept an 80287 / 8 Mhz math co-processor.

The basic machine came with 1 meg, a 3.5", 1.44 meg floppy, and a
serial / parallel card. Video was provided with an optional card.

It will accept IDE or SCSI devices with the appropriate interface
card.

Unfortunately, my news access tends to run a week slow, so the machine
may already be sold. A T4K was a 386-based PC-AT compatible with a 16 MHz
clock. It came stock with 1 Meg of memory, expandable with 256k or 1Meg
SIMMs to 16 Meg. It had six full length and two XT slots, plus a 32-bit
memory expansion slot. A typical drive configuration was a 40-Meg HD, a
3.5" and a 5.25" floppy.
Not what you'd want to run Windoze-NT, but a solid, reliable machine
in its day. Thousands of them ran Xenix 24hr/7day in Radio shack stores,
supporting their POS terminals and central sales/inventory system.
