4 more and you'll have a 64bit computer!
RetroZo
Technically the 99/4A's are 16 bit so I'm at 48 already

I had one of those black and silver TI99/4A... what was the removable strip of paper above the keyboard used for?
chrish1005
Nevermind- I zoomed in on your photo- I always wondered what went there! Mine never had anything but a blank piece of paper! Thanks OP!
RetroZo
Mine didn't come with it either, but it's really useful for keyboard commands, plus it completes the decked-out look

Had the TI99/4A 7 with the tape recorder and a big floppy drive into a Commodore monitor.. Still got it & still works..
RetroZo
I have the cassette recorder. I've used it quite a bit

Here's a great article with a bunch of the accessories http://oldcomputers.net/ti994a.html

Oh yeah, I'm familiar, thanks though. I'm trying to track down the 32k expansion and disk drive at a reasonable price

Seems like there ought to be some on eBay as many as there were sold back then...
Phischstaebchen
that one is a calculator... :P
RetroZo
The aquarius right? Cause that's all it's good for, haha
Phischstaebchen
I was joking about the TI :P I have to TI-calculators... one even plays Doom :D
Phischstaebchen
two, too
RetroZo
Yeah I ran Doom on a TI83 years ago. I can't even imagine what the color screen version is capable of these days
Phischstaebchen
yeah, nowadays it looks like they just put some stateoftheart ARM inside
RetroZo
Sounds about right. Ti moved to ARM some years ago
