+acadiel #134 Posted January 11 August 1983. The ALC (CC-40) Bottom CMOS Schematic Wiring Diagram. Last one for a while. These schematics are exhausting to scan and clean up. Next up should be two folders I have called "ALC Mylars/Datasheets/Development and ALC Planning". Followed by three gigantic folders all about the Waftertape drive. Finally, I have a TI-88 ALEX (which is like Unit Testing) binder. And, that's all she wrote. One very full file cabinet. 1983_08-CC-40_ALC_Bottom-CMOS-Schematic-Wiring-Diagram.pdf 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+acadiel #146 Posted Sunday at 10:55 PM This is a whole bunch of documentation from 1981-1982 about the planning, strategy, etc, for the ALC Program. Note later on in the documentation the code words that were used - Lonestar was the ALC first iteration, or the CC-40. Notice you see the "Superstar" or CC-70 listed here, you also see Squirrel - or "Ground Squirrel" for the TI-99/2, and also the TI-99/4 ALC (the TI99/4A). Not sure what 'Pearl' is, though. That term, I haven't heard before. 1981-1982-ALC-Planning_Strategy_Timelines.pdf 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+acadiel #149 Posted Sunday at 11:36 PM This is probably the best documentation that shows how TI was going to replace the non released TI-88 with the ALC. It's not dated, but I'm guessing the stapled complication is around 1981-1982. It's a second generation copy, and some stuff was probably in another PDF somewhere as well. 1981-1982-ALC-Planning-TI88-Replacement.pdf 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
