→How many bytes?
Several cartridges, such as Extended BASIC, affect the amount of random access memory available to the user of a TI console. Powered-up in BASIC, the console has 14.536 bytes of user-available memory. Insert a Terminal Emulator II cartridge and the amount is reduced to 14.024 bytes. Insert the Extended BASIC cartridge and you've got 13.928 bytes available. If you add a disk drive to your system, deduct another 2088 bytes.
