The wonder extension that brings you three upgrades: The TI Speech Synthesizer gives a voice to your computer through CALL SAY in TI Extended Basic for example.Other cartridges can access speech: the Assembler or games such as PARSEC.Ĭhained to it, there is the CF7+ card, more details below. On one hand, this makes the TI Basic the slowest programming language I've ever used.With the TI Extended Basic, things were a bit better: multiple instructions per line, enhanced instruction set.Well, the TMS9900 assembler is, on the other hand, fast, complete, easy to learn, cool adressing modes, general registers (not dedicated to one particular task).How I regret not to have been able to afford the peripherials that could ease my work! Always saving on tape, ASM programming with the little "Mini memory". more than expensive peripherial expansions.Video RAM is used to store the BASIC program (slow interpretation, reduction of the graphic capabilities to TEXT!).expandable (with the PObox, ram, floppies, RS232, etc.).
16 colors, text mode, low and high resolution graphics.I remerber changing the "/4" with "*.25", some "VAR=10" with "V=10" and lowering the line numbers to increase the speed and free some bytes.Most of all, this true 16 bits had no integer variables in its BASIC! A shame.However. In spite of its numerous defects I can see today, I still look at it with nostalgia.A strange machine, intolerant with the syntax, so slow that you had to optimize your BASIC code. Technical book, console and peripherials, english. Go to My Little Compiler (speed up your XB programs!)ĥ0 programmes (finance, games, maths.) in TI-Basic (3 programs in XB).
