Changes

Any color or black & white TV will work as a monitor. You can also buy a Composite color monitor, consisting of an ordinary TV without the channel changer, tuner, and receiver parts. It is no clearer than regular TV, though; they are often more expensive despite being less than a full TV. If you use a TV you need to interconnect with a special cord that comes with the computer. It has a cigarette pack size box with an on/off switch connecting to the TV's VHF antenna screws. It also has a channel 3 or 4 selector switch. If you use a Composite monitor you need a different cord, one without the box. DO NOT buy an RGB (red, green, blue) monitor; they are clearer, but will not work with the TI 99/4A.
