Texas Instruments TI-99/4

Texas Instruments · 1979

The first 16-bit home computer, in 1979, and hobbled by nearly every decision around it: a calculator keyboard, a locked-down cartridge system, and a 16-bit processor talking to memory through an 8-bit path that threw away most of its advantage. Sold poorly and was quickly replaced. Rare, and the more interesting of the pair for it.
