My TI-99/4a

The Texas-Instruments TI-99/4a was also one of the very first computers I used. Did not have a tape lead for that machine, so did not use it very often as I lost everything everytime I powered it off. But did some programming with it.

Re-acquired the TI-99/4a two years ago.

Present configuration:

• TI-99/4a
• FinalGROM99
• Sidecar SAMS card 1 MB extension
• TIPI mass storage
• PHP-1500 Speech Synthesizer
• RGB to SCART interface and joystick adapter
