Located in Tasmania, Australia, I started programming in the early 80’s first on a TI-99/4, followed by a Spectravideo SV-318 (the pre-cursor to the MSX standard). I released over 80 software titles, a book and ran a computer magazine all supporting the Spectravideo and MSX machines that followed.I first discovered the Tatung Einstein computers in a magazine advertisement but never encountered a physical system in Australia. Quite a bit later I started collecting systems that used the TI-99XX range of video chips, and the Einsteins history being used as a development system for a number of MSX releases made it a must add to my hardware collection.I have written quite a number of homebrew releases for TI-99XX systems over the last ten years and continue to work on libraries and guides for others to cross port their own creations.
