Very cool. It looks like it has a carthridge software slot on the

Being this was made in 1981 (according to the page), and based on the way
TI did things, I would not be surprised if there was a TI-99/4a at the
core of this machine, with the carthridge slot used to throw different
applications onto the machine for various data communications scenarios.
I'm guessing this was a way to sell /4 mainboards still in inventory
after the /4A was introduced, among other things. The mainboard might
have been redesigned specifically for the Insight, though, which is one
of the things I'd like to find out.
I've never seen this before. It would be nice to
find one.
Yup.
