Were the last of the III's produced sold in Model 4 cases? Why is it white? Not a terrible price, but it seems to not work for the money.

Not *exactly*. The Tandy 3 was a rare "OEM" version of the Model III intended to be sold through third-parties. Here's a video featuring one; their unit was supposedly sold through Taranto Associates, which was a company that sold turnkey accounting software bundles. (They were a regular advertiser in 80 Micro, and I'd swear I remember one of their ads actually featured a Taranto-branded Model II.) They did a similar thing with the Color Computer, calling it the "TDP-100":

I actually had a TDP-100 for a while (got it at a garage sale in the late 1980's, long gone of course) so I guess they weren't *that* rare, but the Model 3 is apparently... rarer.

W..., but it seems to not work for the money.

I'm pretty sure that Ian had a write-up in TRS8BITS a few years ago on how to fix that exact video problem.

Any chance you have a link for the fix?
