I am looking for users of the downrated TI computer system. It would seem that this is a forgotten computer by this news group. I would certinly like to talk with some of the other users of this small but powerful little machine and it's upgraded counter-part the Geneve. Hopinng for some respose. Dave Jensen

I tried to send mail, but the usual happened. I'd be willing to discuss whatever interests you about the TI. I agree the the TMS 9900 microprocessor and its assembly language especially have been underrated. Kind of makes me wonder why TI dropped the 99/4a, but there's still lots of support in various BBS's around the country. The Geneve has added new life to software support (I don't have one :-( so at least people are still writing stuff. I'm happy to have just gotten the TELCO terminal emulator (it's hard to read this stuff on a 40 column screen!), and there are many other good programs out there, mostly in Assembly though so no hacking is possible. Much of Legends in XB, now if only it weren't so slow.. ---Andrew Kirmse P.S. A screen editor for TI-Runner is now available, send mail if interested.

Although this is not my account (Being used with permission mind you) I regularly use it to get to the net. Few people realize what the TI-99/4A can really do. 4 DSDD drives, multiple ramdisks (Upto a Meg. each.), multiple harddrives, upto 9600 baud. Commodore (HAHA) can't say all this. 4 serial ports, 2 paraell ports, new AVPC upgrade, 80 cols, speech.. ...It slices...it dices....it... (I am a certified, twisted, and all around unstable person, as label by my peers.)

The TI has been dubbed "The last hacker's machine." Even if it's in compiled assembly, DSKassembler will, as well as many others, will tear it back down to what it was. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a turbo kit made yet for the TI. You can get Ram-Disks, and new Video cards as kits for the TI. I know you can't speed up the CPU without causing alot of pain, but there must be something.... Maybe if you can get some good Engineers in on this. Maybe I could sink my TI in liquid Nitrogen (Is liquid Nitrogen conductive, my guess is yes, but I don't know.) -- ====================================== End Of Message UUCP: (cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc, inhp4)!crash!guhsd000 UUCP(pnet): (cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc, inhp4)!crash!pnet01!guhsd000 ARPA: crash!guhsd000@nosc.mil INET: guhsd000@crash.CTS.COM CIS: 73717,226 TELEX: Temp.
