So far I haven’t been able to find a Tandy(Blue and White) American Online Disk anywhere. I’ve heard them mentioned in a couple forums, but haven’t seen a pic of another one anywhere. Yes, I’m ask a lot, comparatively speaking, however, I just can’t hardly find info anywhere about it. If you know anything about it, please share with me. And we can come up with a reasonable price. This set I found is in extremely good condition, however, I have no way of testing it, still in original packaging(As seen in pic). So it’s being sold as-is.
A little more info about the Tandy 1000 RLX 03.04.03
DeskMate 3.04.02...........1991 - Tandy 1000 RLX - The first version to utilize the DeskMate VGA video driver in an integrated package, although a variant of this driver had actually been available for the DOS-compatible versions beginning with v.3.00. Otherwise similar to the 1000 RL version, but now incorporating new, enhanced VGA graphics throughout the entire integrated Home Organizer software suite. Featured the DeskTop shell in ROM with hidden files.
DeskMate 3.04.03/3.04.04...1991 - Premium/Proprietary version for the 1000 RLX "B," 1000 RSX, and 2500 RSX - As with v.3.04.02, development began before PC/DOS-compatible v.3.05, but completed later due to customization and complexity. Included DAC-compatible Music and Sound, plus the new Print Companion and Automatic House programs. PC Link was replaced with AOL v.1.06, a DOS-based version built on the GeoWorks platform. The DeskTop permitted multiple configurations with direct recall (up to 12), and featured a special "Set Startup Application" function in lieu of the command line option offered in v.3.05. Versions 3.04.03 and 3.04.04 were visually and functionally identical, but architecturally very different. The former was included with the last 1000 RLX models, and featured the the DeskTop shell in ROM with hidden files. The latter "RSX" (386) version was entirely disk-based, although reliant upon custom BIOS calls with embedded resources.

In 1988-early 1991 Quantum developed PC-Link for Tandy, targeting Tandy 1000 users.Sometime in 1991 AOL launched its own brand for DOS which end used a Geoworks interface. Many of the floppy’s that came with Tandy 1000s after July of 1991 were still marked as PC-Link. Geoworks was only used through 1994ish. With this disk being included with DESKMATE 03.04.03, I can only assume that this is a 1991ish very early set, and possibly one of the first floppy’s marked with the AOL name, and if what is below is correct, then it’s using AOL V. 1.06, which was not known to be widely released. This was compromised from several different documents that I’ve found. But, if anyone feels differently, of has other contradicting information, please let me know. I’m just trying to be as accurate as I can. Again, I don’t have the ability to test this or even know if it works.
