I managed to pick up a beige, all plastic TI 99/A
this weekend and if I
remember prior posts this is an uncommon version of this machine. I also saw
what looked like the standard black and chrome machine except that it had no
chrome at all. Did TI ever make such a machine or is it a standard machine
that was mutilated by some brute?
The beige TI 99/4A was a newer version that came out in 1993. Many (if not
all) of those TI's were redesigned by TI so as not to run third-party
cartridge software (TI wanted absolute control of that market--desperate
moves by a product division bleeding red ink.)
As for the TI without any chrome at all . . .did it look painted, or . . .
