I have been requested (by news, no less!) to create net.micro.ti99. While I don't normally deal with such things in a public forum like netnews, I feel I have no choice but to respond. I've created net.micro.ti, which is a more general purpose group. It can cover anything TI makes now or later. I propose that future net.micro.foo groups be created primarily for manufacturers "foo" rather than for each separate model, except when it is clear there is a lot of traffic in separate categories (and then subgroups probably make sense.)

Well, this is probably of no use to anyone. But, since the group is
here and someone obviously is interested in the general hardware, I will
announce that we have a cross assembler (in C) for the TI series. This
was originally written for the educational board but is being
ported to a commercial one, NOT the home PC. I wrote the sucker
originally to escape an assembler programming class. One of the
profs here is doing the port mentioned above. I had it in mind, when
it was written, that TI likes to use pseudo-ops for monitor calls
and made it fairly easy to modify for these.
We do not currently have it in production as nobody has written
a loader for the boards we have. It has not been tested to extremes.
If anyone wants it I will be happy to place it in the public domain
and work out some way of getting it to them.
Oh yeah. It is NOT very fast, as assemblers go, but it does run
on both VAXen and 11's with only a change in the makefile.
