The Tandy 16B ran XENIX.  It was a multi-user business computer. 2 x 8" 
floppies, 5-10G HD, Motorola 68010 CPU.

The Coco ran straight BASIC in ROM or OS-9 Level I/II (developed in Des 
Moines by Microware!).  We still have a couple of Coco early prototype 
boards
which were used for development/porting purposes.   Here are some pictures 
if you are interested:
