New computers announced at the 1983 CES:
Vaporware? Please respond if you KNOW any of these exist for SURE.
- TI 99/2 (Supposedly $100, including 4.2K RAM)
A few examples were made.
- TI CC-40 (Compact Computer 40, laptop like Epson
HX-20, 4 AA cells, 31
character LCD display, $249)
I extracted the following CC-40 sales information from comp.sys.ti in
December of 1994:
Jim Lesher, 722 Huntley, Dallas TX 75214, 214 821 9274
f.e. the following: CC40 Computers 6K $50.00
CC40 Computers 18K $70.00
8K Ram $35.00
16K Ram $35.00
manuals,... $10.00
S&H 10% Minimum $3
I of course have no idea if the information is still valid. Apparently
the units were _NEW_, not second hand or refurbished.
- Video Technology VZ200 (Z80, 4K, MS BASIC, $99)
I found a web page dedicated to the VZ200 some time ago, but I don't
remember where it was now. :/
