Since the 990/4 Mini was based on a TMS9900, Probably not much. Dont know if

They were pretty much the first ever 16-bit home
micro, but it was a
crippled 16-bit chip - as detailed in another message in this thread.
They did have good keyboards, were solidly built and I believe the
graphics chip was, for its time, decent and capable.
Tossing all of the other chips and CROMs and other stuff out, how
compatible was the TMS9900 with the TI 990 mini? The same or
considerablly different?
Cheers,
