What no Geneve?
Slightly surprised there was no mention of the Geneve 9640, a 3rd-party replacement motherboard that could be installed in the Peripheral Expansion Box to make it into a stand-alone computer. It delivered most of the improvements of the stillborn TI 99/8 and more, realising the potential of the TI.
It was a very impressive upgrade and shows what TI could have done with the machine if it had stuck with it.
