I gather the version information in CSLS is a little out of date -- I'd settle for information even on a basic version. On a related problem: I recently picked up for very cheap a TI 99A. This piece of hardware is *truely* an orphan, it doesn't even have a power cable. The only reason I bothered is a dim memory that the machine had a good ROM based Logo. Indeed, the machine rather looks like it was designed by someone who read Paypert's claim that a simple computer should be to the kid of the 80s what a pencil was to a kid of the 50s. But now I wonder if it's worth the trouble. There are still fanatics for this hardware, but none seem interested in Logo.
