Summary
| Description |
This one was 16 bits before home users had any clue what that meant. By the time they realised, it no longer mattered, and no-one cared. Complete with the famous TI Extended BASIC module (cartridge), and the equally famous TI Speech Synthesizer as featured in ‘Speak and Spell’ (and by extension, the movie E.T.) This machine had pretty decent hardware, but nowhere near enough memory to speak of: 256 bytes of RAM (part of the CPU) and 16k of video RAM. Everything was stored on the video RAM when the graphics chip wasn't looking, something that made it seriously slow until you gave up and got a memory expansion box. |
