In 1988, Radio Shack announced the Tandy 1000 SL computer.

The Tandy 1000 SL featured an Intel 8086 processor running at 8 MHz and 384 KB of RAM. It had a performance increase over the earlier 8088-based Tandy 1000s due to the 8086 processor’s 16-bit bus coupled with a slightly higher clock speed.
