Texas Instruments Luggable Business Pro

[rbrothers]

I was cleaning out the attic in my shop and discovered 2 TI Business pro "portables". They are still closed up (keyboard covering face) so I have no idea of their condition, but if you are near Dallas or Greenville, Texas you're welcome to come pick them up. No way I would ship them, it hard enough just getting them out of the attic!

I'm definitely interested in them if they're still available! Can you shoot me an email at davidjjett <at> gmail.com please?

Raymond,

Enjoyed meeting your and you wife. Hope all that stuff you helped me clear out turns out to be useful to David.

He's already got the first system cleaned and powered up. HDD Error message, but he'll work through that.

I did forget to pick up the diskettes from you though

Maybe David you could post some pics? Business Pro I'm familiar with, it's a tower macine, but "Luggable" suggests the TI PPC. I'm assuming that's what these are?

There are TI PC floppy images on archive.org. Not certain but I think they'll work in the PPCs as well. Anyway, nice find and I'm glad Bob found a good home for them. https://archive.org/details/OldTiproSoftware

There is a archive of xenix for the Business Pro here: https://winworldpc.com/product/xenix/286

I see somebody in Knoxville TN has relisted a PPC. Has keyboard, missing kbd cable and HD, but appears to POST. I'd go for it, if seller was ok with local pickup, but no budget for it atm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175373863499
