- The Asgard 128K card is a new card for
- the PEB Box with additional ram available
- for programmers. There have been several
- of these promised for the TI World, but
- I believe this is the first one to actually
- come to market. It uses bank switching in
- ram to allow us to run programs of larger size.
-
- There is already a program available that
- takes advantage of this card. It is called
- "First Draft - Final Copy" the first complete
- rewrite of the TI Word processing program.
-
- First Draft is an extention of a program
- written about a year and a half ago by
- one Art Gibson in Tennessee which was
- created to help newsletter editors print
- professional looking newsletters. The new
- program takes advantage of the best features
- of the TI world processor and adds some
- additional ones. For the first time, TI-ers
- can use a spell checker from within the
- word processing environment.
-
- Look for an exensive review of this program
- in the January user groups' newsletter.
-
- (Note- I do not think that she owns the card and software. I would be
- interested in more details).

- Ken Gladyszewski of the NorthCoast group had
- developed a project that certainly was not
- meant for commercial purposes, but is a lot
- of fun. He has an analog-digital converter and
- a setup to run a robot complete with speech.
- He has developed a board that attaches to the
- parallel printer port that can be used for
- several purposes. One person asked if he
- could control his Christmas lights with them
- and Ken said he could.
-
- (Note- I have schematics and article on the costructions of such an interface
- using the joystick and parallel ports. With the joystick version one does not
- even need the PEBox.)
