ralphb Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 There's an article about the birth of the TI 99/4 in IEEE Spectrum: http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/history/the-texas-instruments-994-worlds-first-16bit-computer Maybe this is known to all already, but I found it quite interesting (and sad, in a way). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I like the bit about the dedicated low-budget users who still use the TI today: the TI machine had a devoted following among users who had purchased the 99/4A because they couldn’t resist its low price. Remnants of that cult still exist today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphb Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I was referring the bit about three competing groups within TI that gave us the 99/4. And oops, I meant this to post in the general TI forum ... can someone move this topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
