The TI-99/2 was never actually produced. Only
pre-production units were
ever
made. This was after the TI-99/4A, back in 1983. A
whole line of
peripherals were planned to be offered, including the new HEX-BUS
interface.
The 99/2 was black and white only, 40 columns, and
limited but a very
portable computer. Only rare photos have ever been seen.
The 99/2 did make it out the door - I bought one in a MSP Target. The hex
bus peripherals also were produced, and worked with the CC40 (handheld from
TI).
