Actually, I meant that the P-Code Card (TI's version) never caught on
then (or since).
Since the thing cost at least $300 new, I'm not surprised. (Of course,
I don't remember TI really promoting the P-code card, at least not to
"home" users. . .)
Also, anyone remembers TI's videodisc controller card? I remember some of
the ads and catalogs saying something to the effect of "The Videodisc
controller is for industrial use only, it is not for use in the home"
The P-Code
card allows you to run "universal" software. It never
really caught on. I have the software, UCSD Pascal stuff mainly.
Ummmm... you mean it never caught on *then*...
