=Mikel has RS232; developing PEB=
Mikel Laboratories Inc. says it is stepping up production and distribution of its RS232-C interface system for the Tl99/4A.
The Southern California company is selling its standalone unit for $149.95.
The unit allows home computer owners to use a printer or modem with their computer without buying a peripheral expansion box.
The company also offers a cassette interface system that includes a cassette cable and recorder for $49.95. It markets TI cassette cables for $11.95.
Mikel says it is developing a line of peripherals for the TI computer, including a peripheral expansion box, memory card and other accessories.
According to Mikel spokesman David Zislis, there seems to be no shortage of ideas for the TI99/4A. "We're finding there's a lot of engineers out there who have developed different kinds of hardware," he says.
Zislis thinks the TI market will remain firm for some time, noting, "What we're getting is a lot of people calling every day and then I talk to vendors who say there's lots of people coming in for TI products. My perception is it looks pretty good."
