I've read most everyone's post, but I don't remember anyone mentioning the one I had. It was a Texas Instruments TI-99A. It used MS-DOS and I never did learn much about it. It also had cartridges for programs that you could plug into the side. It used a 5 1/2" floppy drive for storage that was built into a separate component.
