I have heard that TI has announced Business-Pro for quite sometime.
Has anyone actually got one and tried on it? How compatible is this
new machine with IBM AT? Any news will be appreciated.

I believe the first TI Business-Pro's went out the door (pretty
much on schedule) the last week of June even though it was
announced back in the spring.   Compatiblity with the AT will
be very close to 100% as possible without copying the ROMs though
this compatibility is an OPTION.   The B-P has both worlds (the
TIPC and the IBM-PC/AT) though you'll need TI's IBM video card
option to get the ~100% compatibility.

It'll probably be a couple more months before these buggers
get to the stores (if they do go to any stores).

Nice features:  Up to 4-drives in the under-desk, vertical
style box.  A keyboard that you can move the keys around to
suit your wants (to a point - the keyboard is a big matrix
of buttons with which to pick and place the key tops) and has
a reasonable feel to it.   The TI B-P should be faster than
the AT as all memory is no wait-state.   3.5-Meg can be
installed without using any option slots.  A streamer should
available for backup along with winnies of ~20, ~40, and 72-Meg.

That's about all I know at this time and....

DISCLAIMER:  This information is not an official release in any way
and is just my understanding of what will be available in the very
near future.  TI mearly provides the means with which to send this
mail.

The TI Business-Pro will run the IBM version of Flight Simulator.
Many other software packages written for the IBM have been demonstrated
to function on the Business-Pro.  Even the errors in screen handling are
to be found duplicated on the Business-Pro.

- Hope this helps,
