The 16/6000 systems could run a slightly patched Model II TRSDOS, or
the TRSDOS-II that had come out as the Mod 2 series hard disk OS, or
TRSDOS-16, written by Ryand-McFarland and never had any applications
except the MBSI/Realworld bookkeeping system, or Xenix, my personal
favorite.

The MC-10 contained a MC6803 processor. It would load programs
recorded by a Color Computer, but for some reason the BASIC
keywords were given different tokens.

No. The Tandy 2000 never had a TRS-80 logo. The 4D was the last
TRS-80 much later on. All of the MS-DOS machines were Tandy, not
TRS-80.
