Texas Instruments Program Recorder
CASSETTE RECORDER
A cassette recorder provides the ability to save
programs and information contained in the com
puter by recording them on a cassette tape. You
also need a cassette recorder to load programs
from cassette tape into the computer. If you plan
to use your computer only for entertainment
and education, you may not need a cassette
recorder. The TI-99/4A can use the plug-in car
tridges containing software programs, and pro
grams available in that format may meet your
needs—particularly for games and for learning
exercises in many educational subjects. If you
want to learn to program your computer, you
will probably also want to use a cassette record
er (or a disk drive, but more about that in a
moment).
