Tales of collecting 3

I recently got into computer collecting. I am especially biased toward the TI-99 family of computers and accessories. In my collection I have several interesting and rare items. I have one TI-99/4 and several TI-99/4A computers of the black and silver and beige varieties. I have one each that is NEW in the box. I have several expansion systems that are filled with a complete complement of Texas Instruments Peripheral Expansion Cards and others that are filled with their third party counterparts.

I have in my never-released collection: two TI-99/8 computers, a hex-bus 5.25" floppy disk drive controller, two 128K SuperRam memory expansion cards, a TI-99/8-specific RS-232 interface, the hex-bus interface for the TI-99/4A, two GROM boxes, a Command Module Simulator, a IEEE-488 interface, an EPROM programmer peripheral interface card, and two Armadillo interface cards which are used to expand the TI-99/8 using the TI Peripheral Expansion Box.

Right now, I am looking for the TI-99/2 Basic Computer to add to my collection as well as other unreleased hex-bus peripherals.

So far, this has proved to quite fun. Check out my collection at http://aug.99er.net.
