+acadiel Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Pretty cool! Note the beige PEB has the text in the upper left corner. Never had seen that before. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Before someone asks the only beige units released to retail were the consoles, joysticks, cassette recorder there's prototypes of the speech synthesizer and the other side cars but not released. If I remember correctly that beige expansion box and monitor were painted for the marketing materials.Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 That beige telephone coupler never made it release either, IIRC. Note that there seem to be a reasonable number of beige joysticks out there too, but they were all assembled with black cables and don't have serial numbers, so they are more properly prototypes too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senior_falcon Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I seem to remember seeing a 99/2 advertised in a Sears catalog or flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightengale Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Nice, woo hoo - Tunnels of Doom $59.95, that's how much I paid for it, what a wonderful memory, and we are very lucky to be able to still play it ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I believe I have seen that printed in a picture of a box, somewhere here on AA, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhd Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I am very surprised to see the pCode expansion card being sold through Sears. It is both a niche product and significantly expensive than the computer itself (not counting the associated memory expansion, disk drive, etc.). I wonder if any expansion cards were sold via this catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see more get scanned; I remember quite a lot of TI stuff in Sears catalogues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
