Summary: Differences twixt a 1000 and a true-blue

I subscribed to this newsgroup hoping to learn more about my trusty 1000,
but all I'm reading is stuff about the model 1's, etc.

So I'll ask a question - any knowledgeable person understand the differences
between a Tandy 1000 personal computer and an original IBM PC/XT? Having one
of the former, I'm interested as to why some programs don't work on my 1000
(only a few, however). Also, the new Tandy Dos makes disks not-readable on
non-Tandy machines. Why? No doubt it has to do with the BIOS or something,
I'd assume.      

Anyway, thanks for listening - I'm out there waiting!
