I know on the Tandy 1000A and perhaps others it was not difficult to add
a VGA card. There were certain ones we used because of the IRQ
difference in video on the Tandy 1000. I think our card of choice was an
OAK 8-bit VGA card.

My mistake! <grin>  You're absolutely right.  The RL was CGA, it was the
RLX and RLX-HD that were VGA.
