The Tandy 5000 MC is a computer released by Tandy Corporation in 1988. The 5000 MC was the first PS/2 clone, featuring the Micro Channel architecture, an expansion bus technology developed by IBM and, until the 5000 MC, used exclusively on their Personal System/2 (PS/2) line of personal computers. Despite strong reviews from the technology press, the 5000 MC sold poorly.
