Well, there were things such as the 990/602 development system which used
these 100 pin boards. The 990/4, 10, /12 use a different physical bus, and
I don't think the TM990 bus supports TILINE. CRU, yes. The boards for 990
minis have two fingers instead of the single, 100-pin, finger of the TM990
cards.
I have a VPU200 programmer for the 5TI sequencer which uses TM990
boards. I don't have any specs, manuals, or software, though.
The Nov. '82 issue of Home Computer Magazine has a description and a few
minimal photos of the 990/602. It's archived at
