The combination of 8088 and Z80 processors, introduced by the 8/16 upgrade, led to the introduction of distinct [[IBM PC compatible]] models running [[MS-DOS]], starting with the '''Tiki-100 8/16 Rev. C''', offering support for DOS programs but not IBM-compatible graphics. The '''Tiki-100 Rev. D''' remedied this incompatibility, offering [[Color Graphics Adapter|CGA]]-compatible graphics capabilities, and thereby being able to run a variety of major PC applications, including those within the [[Graphical Environment Manager]] (GEM) user interface, this being bundled with the machine along with a [[Logitech]] mouse. The performance of GEM was regarded as sluggish using the 8088. The machine also contained a Z80 processor, sharing the same [[computer bus|bus]] as the 8088, so that it could run the original Tiki-100 software under the 8088 operating system with certain caveats, supporting only non-graphical programs or graphical programs modified to support the CGA standard. The system was priced from {{Currency|35760|NOK}} including taxes, this being seen as "steep" in comparison to PC clones with broadly comparable specifications including those with the faster 8 MHz 8088 part at around half the Tiki's price. A [[Tandon Corporation|Tandon]] PC AT with 80286 processor was only {{Currency|4000|NOK}} more expensive.{{ cite magazine | url=https://www.stone-oakvalley-studios.com/uploads/017f2531/pc_mikrodata_08-1986.pdf | title="Tikulf" - Tikis svar på IBM PC | magazine=PC mikrodata | last1=Gulbrandsen | first1=Erik | last2=Manglerud | first2=Anne | date=September 1986 | access-date=20 January 2026 | pages=38,40 | language=nb }} Both the Rev.
