The Texas Instruments TI994A Home Computer? We have one of these that still works. We have it connected to a TV set. The cartridges that we have are mostly games, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Miss Pac-Man etc. To get the thing to make voices, we had to have a speech synthesizer attached to the side. We also have numerous books purchased from Radio Shack and some book stores that had programs that one could type in using basic. To back these up, we used a tape recorder. I think it had 16K memory but once the thing was turned off, all programs were lost. We never had enough money to buy the disk drive or anything else for it. There was a company "Triton Products Company" that sold all kind of programs for this as well as accesorys after TI pulled the computer from the market due to poor sales and other things. I believe we even had one game that was made by Microsoft, I remember seeing their name on the title screen.
This was for sale in the early 80's ours was bought at a drug store called Skaags and was $149. Bill Cosby did all the television advertising for this.
