Remember that TI ? Message #1 Posted by Gilles Collas on 12 Mar 2007, 5:54 a.m. Hi all and please forgive me to open a point concerning the HP's "enemy" but I know that many of you are remembering TI calculators as valuable and maybe own some of them as well beside the HP collection... I would like to find back the lost track of the TI assembler kit that has been sold by TI by the ending 70's... It was something like a TI59 box, keypad and display soldered on an epoxy card containing processor and memory (up to 4kb if I remember well) ... I just lost the commercial name of this item ... Anyone remember ? gilles

You mean one of these (TM990/189 TMS 9980 A): http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260091632530&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.de%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.de%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D260091632530%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1 Sorry for the horrible link, you can search for item number 260091632530 on eBay Germany instead ( http://www.ebay.de ). Ended slightly over 200 Euros a few days ago, these things seems to be quite rare! Greetings, Max Edited: 12 Mar 2007, 9:50 a.m.

I never own one of these but I think it put me on the tracks of the mysterious and fascinating assembly language programming I started to study at computer school two years after.. For a calculator collector, that one is a "pièce de choix"...

Quote: For a calculator collector, that one is a "pièce de choix"... Yes, definitely! I still keep some old electronics magazines from the late 70ies and early 80ies (like "Electronics Today International" and "Elektor/Elektuur") that have full-page advertisments for this assembly language trainer. For me, it was too expensive then (and still is, at over 200 Euros at eBay) but if I ever find one for an affordable price, I will certainly add it to my collection! Greetings, Max
