The Tandy 10 Business Computer System was a short-lived product developed by Radio Shack in the late 1970s as a business-oriented follow-on to their TRS-80 Model I desktop computer.

Released in 1978, the Tandy 10 was built for Radio Shack by Applied Digital Data Systems, and was only sold by Radio Shack's dedicated computer center stores. Its configuration was that of a desk with an integrated computer and monitor; specifications were:

  • 8080 CPU
  • 48K memory
  • 24x80 video display,
  • Two dual-sided 8" diskette drives
  • Dartmouth BASIC
  • ADOS Disk Operating System

The system did not sell in large numbers and was quickly discontinued, with Radio Shack's next business system being an extension of the TRS-80 product line, the Model II, released in May 1979.
