architecture. At the heart of this architecture is a new bus
design that expands the data path to a full 32 bits. This design
also allows multiple microprocessors to use the same bus.
Intelligent peripherals will be able to operate without
burden-
ino the CPU. The effect is too~timize throughput between 110
dgvices and the CPU for unprecedented kiformance,
Because of its remarkable performance and storage capabili-
ties, the5000 MC isa natural
as
the hub of a multiuser system,
or as the file server in a
3Comm office workgroup. Using
SCO
XENlX 386, the 5000 MC will support up to 32 data
terminals. This configuration lets your
entlre office share the
5000
MC'spower inatruly cost-efficient environment. And in a
3Com workgroup environment, office users with other
PCs
can access the 5000 MC's enormous data-storage capabili-
ties with unprecedented speed.
The Tandy 5000 MC comes equipped with a built-in
1.44MB
3lh" disk drive. There's room inside for a second 31h" drive
(or hard drive) and two
5'14'' floppy, hard or tape dr~ves.

One of the most welcome characteristics of the 5000 MC is its
small footprint. This neat, ergonomical desi

floorstand is availabl4. The enhanced
101-kev kevboard features tactile feedback, ensuring typing
accuracv.
A

A
keylock is also included for case-lock
security. There's even a front-accessible reset button.
