CP/M on the TI 99/4A 

Have had it since 1991. Still works perfectly!

I used to have that exact printer. Sadly, it met the dumpster circa 2004...

Ah I had the same printer too, wonderful, Panasonic KXP-1124!

I had one in 1991 and for several years, it was quite loud. I couldn't use it when the baby was sleeping in the other room or it would wake her up. Super solid printer.

Of course. The Foundation 80col card was one of them.

there were 3 80 col cards BITD the foundation, the mechatronics and AVPC, also the F18A recently see my website for the TI FAQ with all that info

For the retro experience for those of us who actually used CP/M back in the day 🙂

Yes, but hobbled by an 8-bit bus.

@@SuperVorticon I'm not sure if the 8-bit bus was its main problem or its weird architecture.

I’m no expert. But from what I’ve been told, the TI suffered three flaws that were more significant than the 8-bit bus: 1) Double interpreted BASIC. 2) Lack of a lot of third party support. This one was a shame given it was from the direction of TI themselves. 3) A grudge from Commodore. TI started a price war with Commodore in the calculator days and Commodore never let them forget it in the home computer days.

David Ahl's book is on the Internet Archive and the game is on page 143 archive.org/details/More_BASIC_Computer_Games/page/n155/mode/2up

He won't do it -- XD. That's ok, but you owe us a game run !!!
