→TI discontinues software
The spokeswoman did not rule out the possibility that other companies might eventually pick up production of such TI-licensed products.
=Tex-Comp to sell Mini-Writer=
Exclusive purchase of all remaining Texas Instruments Editor/Assembler, Mini-Memory and Extended BASIC cartridges was made by TexComp of California when TI discontinued selling its home computer products at the end of March.
In addition, according to Jerry Price of Tex-Comp, the company has acquired millions of dollars worth of TI products, enough to support the market "for years to come."
He said there were "not that many" left of the Extended BASIC cartridges. Tex-Comp has a large supply of Editor/Assembler and Mini-Memory cartridges, he said.
In addition, Price says, warehouse shelves at Tex-Comp are stacked with TI products "as far as the eye can see."
Tex-Comp also has rights to the Mini-Writer program which, he said, was never marketed by TI. MiniWriter is a cassette-based word processing program that does not require expansion memory. Price said that Tex-Comp will be making this available soon in a package with the Mini-Memory cartridge. Mini-Writer requires the Mini-Memory to operate.
He says Tex-Comp also carries a printer which does not require an RS232 interface.
Thus, he says, "for $349.95 a person can get into word processing with a printer, a Mini-Memory and everything."
