The Video interface
VIDEO 59 

Manufactured by a small company in southern Paris region, a video interface for TI58 / TI58C / TI59 was marketed in France.

This interface "VIDEO 59" possesses a receptacle identical to the base of connection of the printer and connects to the television (Black & White) with a coaxial cable of antenna.

The display corresponds exactly to what usually goes out on the printer and a "trace mode" allows to follow step by step the execution of the program for debugging.

    Module Selector
    The Manual Module Selector was an extension that allowed, through the module port, the calculators TI58 / TI58C / TI59 to use four library modules.

    Designed to be housed in the PC 100, the Selector can also operate on a stand-alone basis because it only uses power from the calculator.

    For more information see the website of Joerg Woerner : http://www.datamath.org/Sci/WEDGE/PC-100_ModuleSel.htm

    EDUCALC
    EduCALC, despite the fact that is not really an extension because having an integrated TI58 or TI59, worth quoting.

    This wooden box (Oak?) Is used to show the dual TI58/TI59 display in front display.

    EduCALC 58 GD and GD 59 are useful to teachers who can show to their public the information displayed on the screen of the TI.

    (Too bad the case of TI has not himself been redone in wood!)

    DC-59
    The interface DC-59 consisted of two printed circuit cards and a power supply, housed in a small box, for use with a calculator Texas SR-59 (?).

    The user calculator should be modified by Science Accessories Corporation in order to connect the cable.

    The interface was designed to connect devices to the calculator such as voltmeters, counters, gauges ..., allowing "non-keyboard" inputs for use with the programs.

    Braille interface
    Surprising ! A September 1976 document described a Braille interface...

    The SR-52 programmable calculator was interfaced with a tactual display for the use of a blind assistant.

    Interfacing converted the content of the calculator's visual display to Braille output.

    Do it yourself!
    A french magazine "l'Ordinateur Individuel" proposed electronic construction drawings to create your own extensions.
    A little bit more memory

    Store up to 800 program steps in an EPROM memory!
