 sense of anything TI did related to computers)

The TI-99/2 was never actually produced. Only pre-production units were ever
made. This was after the TI-99/4A, back in 1983. A whole line of
peripherals were planned to be offered, including the new HEX-BUS interface.
 The 99/2 was black and white only, 40 columns, and limited but a very
portable computer. Only rare photos have ever been seen.

And to make things even more "crazier", the TI-99/8 was trailed by the
TI-99/2. The 99/8 was also pre-production units only, about 150 only were
ever made. More information on the 99/8 is available on the TI web sites.
