The beige TI 99/4A was a newer version that came out in 1993. Many (if not
all) of those TI's were redesigned by TI so as not to run third-party
cartridge software (TI wanted absolute control of that market--desperate
moves by a product division bleeding red ink.)

As for the TI without any chrome at all . . .did it look painted, or . . .
