Educational / Toys

The Speak & Spell project was started in 1976 and created the first single-chip LPC speech synthesizer with the TMC0280. The improvements made have led to the production of speech synthesis processors such as the TMS5100, 5200 and 5220 for use in commercial products, such as the TI-99/4A.
The same technology has been used in other toys such as Speak & Read and Speak & Math, Learn, Count and Speak, the Talking Book, and the most famous Jiminy Cricket. In this exhibition you can see some of the rarest ones, from the Buddy (Germany), the Speak & Spell for the Japanese and Spanish markets, up to the 21st century Chinese clone.

SPEAK & SPELL

Language Translator. Shortly after the invention of synthesizer technology capable of reproducing human speech with voices stored in ROM (Read-Only Memory - integrated circuits), the Language Translator was launched. This product was renamed Language Tutor in the early 1980s, and both devices were marketed simultaneously. Around the same time, a more affordable version of the Language Tutor, called Language Teacher, was introduced, which lacked a speaker.

"History with Texas Instruments in the 20th century"

In these galleries, we’ll take a trip through time to explore the iconic calculators built by Texas Instruments!
From the legendary LED models that made TI history, to the sleek LCD versions, all the way to the mighty Desktop and the quirky Overhead calculators — there's something for every enthusiast!

Get ready for a dive into glowing red digits, green displays, clicky keys, and designs straight out of the ‘70s, ‘80s, and beyond.

Have fun and… enjoy the nerdy ride! 🔍🧮✨

In this gallery we will talk about Texas Instruments watches. We start with the LED and LCD watches,to those with analog hands, given as gifts to employees or sold as gadgets.There are some booklets, where the functions of the watches are described.

Have fun !

Texas-Instruments (TI) revolutionized the digital wristwatch industry with the introduction of the first under $20 LED watch in 1976. Soon, TI produced licensed LED watches that tied in with the release of Star Wars in 1977 for only $16.95, and the price kept dropping. By the end of the decade, industry price cutting had driven several high-end digital watch manufacturers out of business. TI itself suffered from its own success—dropping profit margins forced the company to exit the watch business by 1980. By then, digital watches had become inexpensive commodity items.

In this gallery, you’ll get lost among a treasure trove of scanned images: old-school ads, quirky announcements, dusty bulletins, and vintage magazines that smell like nostalgia.

Enjoy your trip down memory lane!

Texas Instruments (TI) shook up the digital watch world in 1976 with a real market bombshell — the first LED watch priced under $20! And they didn’t stop there: the following year, they jumped on the Star Wars craze, releasing themed LED watches for just $16.95 — a treat for fans and a blow to the competition. Prices kept falling, and before long, it was a bloodbath: several high-end digital watchmakers were forced to shut down. Ironically, TI itself got crushed by its own success — with profit margins shrinking fast, they bowed out of the watch game by 1980. By then, those once-shiny digital watches had become cheap, everyday gadgets for the masses.

The Story of a Passion: From Texas Instruments to the Watch Museum !

La storia di una passione: da Texas Instruments al Museo dell'Orologio !

In poche parole, raccontiamo la storia di come è nata una delle mie più grandi passioni: la passione per la tecnologia legata a Texas Instruments (TI). Una passione che ha preso vita in un contesto unico, un angolo di mondo dove storia e innovazione si intrecciano. La nascita di questa passione è avvenuta nella casa dei miei genitori, "Teresa e Giorgio", tra gli anni '70 e '80, situata nei pressi dello stabilimento Texas Instruments (Cittaducale - Rieti - Italia), un luogo che ha rappresentato il cuore pulsante di una vera e propria rivoluzione tecnologica.

In quegli anni, la vicinanza alla fabbrica mi ha permesso di accumulare una grande quantità di materiale: scarti di produzione, acquisti diretti presso lo spaccio aziendale, regali di amici e parenti dei miei genitori e molto altro. È iniziato così un percorso che ha visto lentamente crescere una collezione straordinaria, frutto di una passione travolgente. Negli anni successivi, le acquisizioni sono diventate sempre più numerose e incontrollabili, provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo. La ricerca di pezzi rari e significativi ha alimentato una passione che si estendeva ben oltre la semplice curiosità.

Questo viaggio non sarebbe stato possibile senza l'aiuto di tante persone, che hanno condiviso il loro amore per la storia della tecnologia, offrendo oggetti e materiali provenienti da tutto il mondo. A loro va il mio più profondo ringraziamento, perché hanno reso possibile l'espansione di un progetto che alla fine ha preso la forma di un vero e proprio Museo dell'Orologio dedicato a Texas Instruments.

Ma come è nata questa passione? Tutto è iniziato con il fascino per i prodotti iconici di Texas Instruments: la celebre calcolatrice Datamath, il computer TI99/4A e l'inconfondibile orologio TI-500. Ogni oggetto raccontava una storia di innovazione e tecnologia che ha segnato un'epoca. Questi prodotti, insieme a molti altri, hanno contribuito a scrivere la storia di Texas Instruments e, per estensione, quella di un'intera generazione.

Da questa passione per la tecnologia è nato quello che oggi è considerato il più grande museo dell'orologio dedicato a Texas Instruments. Un luogo che non ospita solo oggetti storici, ma anche un pezzo di storia vivente, capace di raccontare come l'innovazione abbia cambiato il nostro stile di vita. Ogni oggetto, ogni pezzo esposto, non è solo un ricordo, ma la testimonianza di un'epoca in cui Texas Instruments è stata al centro di una straordinaria era di innovazione.

La passione per questi oggetti è molto più di una semplice collezione. È il risultato dell'amore per la tecnologia, la storia e l'evoluzione di un marchio che ha cambiato il corso della storia. Oggi, il museo si pone come punto di riferimento per appassionati e studiosi, un luogo in cui passato e futuro si incontrano, dove ogni oggetto racconta una storia che continua a vivere nel tempo.

Un viaggio iniziato con una semplice passione ha dato vita a un'opera straordinaria, un museo che continua a crescere e ad arricchirsi di nuovi pezzi ogni giorno. Un omaggio a un marchio che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia della tecnologia.

Da qui è nato il più grande museo dell'orologio...Texas Instruments

Il mio piccolo aneddoto!!

Quando ero piccolo, negli anni '70, il primo orologio più memorabile che abbia mai posseduto è stato un orologio digitale prodotto da Texas Instruments (TI)... e quando me lo regalarono per Natale, mi ritrovai a vivere nel FUTURO!!! Orologio LED TI-500 (quadrante sottile) L'orologio faceva parte della linea di orologi digitali LED TI-500. Il cuore degli orologi di questa linea era lo stesso per tutti, ma lo stile della cassa era diverso. Sebbene gli orologi LED dell'epoca fossero già di per sé piuttosto futuristici, la versione che ho ricevuto è quella che credo possa essere considerata l'orologio dall'aspetto più futuristico della linea TI-500. Aveva una stretta lente rosso scuro che si trovava esattamente al centro di una cassa "trapezoidale sovrapposta". La stretta lente ricordava la visiera di un robot spaziale. C'erano alcune versioni speciali di questo orologio che avevano immagini stampate, come auto da corsa, nella parte inferiore del quadrante. Sotto il coperchio della batteria sono inserite due batterie per orologi LR44 che garantiscono un'autonomia di circa 30-40 giorni, a patto che non si continuino a premere i pulsanti lucidi per tutto il giorno.

Un orologio come questo non mostrava l'ora in continuazione. Avrebbe scaricato la batteria in giorni, se non ore. I display a LED non erano molto efficienti all'epoca. Per visualizzare l'ora, si preme un pulsante color argento che sporge in alto a destra del corpo dell'orologio. Premendolo una volta, l'ora viene visualizzata per circa un secondo, quindi si spegne. È possibile tenere premuto il pulsante in modo che venga visualizzata più a lungo e dopo alcuni secondi passerà alla visualizzazione dei secondi effettivi che aumentano. Premendolo due volte, verrà visualizzato il giorno in mm.

L'unico altro pulsante dell'orologio è incassato nel corpo dell'orologio, in basso a destra. Usa una penna o una matita per premerlo e puoi impostare ora e data con una serie di pressioni. Puoi anche "sincronizzare" il numero di secondi, come facevo ogni mattina quando andavo a scuola e sincronizzavo l'orologio con la campanella della scuola. Sapevo con precisione al SECONDO quando sarebbe suonata la campanella alla fine della lezione! Detto questo, questo stile di orologio è stato il primo della mia vita ad essere un orologio digitale. Eppure è stato l'unico orologio a LED che avrei mai posseduto per molto tempo. Gli orologi con display LCD sono entrati in scena alla fine degli anni '70 e non avrei mai pensato di passare il resto della mia vita a comprare "cool" orologi digitali Texas Instruments!

The Story of a Passion: From Texas Instruments to the Watch Museum !

In a few words, we tell the story of how one of the greatest passions was born: the passion for technology related to Texas Instruments (TI). A passion that came to life in a unique context, a corner of the world where history and innovation intertwined. The birth of this passion took place in my parents' home, "Teresa and Giorgio" during the '70s and '80s, located near the Texas Instruments facility (Cittaducale - Rieti - Italy), a place that represented the beating heart of a true technological revolution.

During those years, the proximity to the factory allowed me to accumulate a large amount of material: production scraps, direct purchases from the factory store, gifts from friends and relatives of my parents, and much more. This is how the journey began a journey that slowly saw the growth of an extraordinary collection, the result of an overwhelming passion. Over the following years, the acquisitions became increasingly numerous and uncontrollable, coming from all corners of the world. The search for rare and significant pieces fueled a passion that extended far beyond mere curiosity.

This journey would not have been possible without the help of many people, who shared their love for the history of technology, offering objects and materials from all over the globe. My deepest thanks go to them, as they made it possible to expand a project that eventually took the form of a true Watch Museum dedicated to Texas Instruments.

But how did this passion start? It all began with the fascination for Texas Instruments' iconic products: the famous Datamath calculator, the TI99/4A computer, and the unmistakable TI-500 watch. Each object told a story of innovation and technology that marked an era. These products, along with many others, contributed to writing the history of Texas Instruments and, by extension, that of an entire generation.

From this passion for technology, what is now considered the largest watch museum dedicated to Texas Instruments was born. A place that not only houses historical objects but also a piece of living history, capable of telling how innovation changed our way of life. Each object, each displayed piece, is not just a memory, but a witness to a time when Texas Instruments was at the center of an extraordinary age of innovation.

The passion for these objects is much more than just a collection. It is the result of a love for technology, history, and the evolution of a brand that changed the course of history. Today, the museum stands as a point of reference for enthusiasts and scholars alike, a place where past and future meet, where every object tells a story that continues to live through time.

A journey that began with a simple passion has given life to an extraordinary work, a museum that continues to grow and enrich itself with new pieces every day. A tribute to a brand that has left an indelible mark on the history of technology.

From this was born the largest watch museum...Texas Instruments

My little anecdote !!

When I was growing up in the 1970s, the first most memorable watch I ever owned was a digital watch made by Texas Instruments (TI) ... and when I got it for Christmas, I was living in the FUTURE !!! TI-500 LED Watch (Slim Dial) The watch was part of TI's TI-500 line of LED digital watches. The heart of the watches in this watch line was the same for everyone, but the style of the case was different. Although the LED watches of the era were quite futuristic as it is, the version I got is what I think can be considered the most futuristic looking watch in the TI-500 line. It had a narrow dark red lens that sat squarely in the middle of a "stacked trapezoidal" case. The narrow lens resembled the visor of a space robot.There were some special versions of this watch that had images printed, such as racing cars, at the bottom of the dial. Under the battery cover, two LR44 watch batteries are inserted which will give you around 30-40 days as long as you don't keep pressing its shiny buttons all day.

A watch like this didn't show the time all the time. He would drain the battery in days, if not hours. LED displays weren't very efficient back then. To view the time, press a silver colored button that protrudes at the top right of the watch body. Pressing it once displays the time for about one second, then switches off. You can hold the button so that it is displayed longer and after a few seconds it will switch to the display of the actual seconds that are increasing. Press the button twice and it will show you the day in MM / DD format. It does not keep track of the current year.

The only other watch button is recessed into the watch body at the bottom right. Use a pen or pencil to press it and you can set the time and date through a series of button presses. You can also "synchronize" the number of seconds, as I did every morning when I came to school and synchronized it with the school bell clock. I knew until the SECOND when the bell would ring at the end of the lesson!
That said, this style watch was the first in my life when it came to digital watches. Yet it was the only LED watch I would ever own for a long time. LCD based watches soon entered the scene in the late 1970s and I never thought I'd spend the rest of my life buying "cool" Texas Instruments digital watches !!

Il nome BitOld è ambivalente; si può interpretare come un “po’ vecchio” o “vecchi bit” intesi come aggeggi digitali. Bitold nasce a causa di due soggetti instabili Maurizio e Stefano, ai quali poi altri si sono aggregati (anche se sembra che in pubblico lo neghino) Giovanni e Fabrizio… Comunque se pensate di liberarvi di vecchi “cosi” digitali pensate a noi, mailizzateci, chiamateci, faxateci….

Edicola8Bit di Giuseppe Di Lillo, il creatore del sito www.edicola8bit.com, dove potete trovare le cassette da edicola con annesse riviste allegate per i sistemi 8bit c64, c16, vic-20, msx, spectrum. Ho creato questo sito nel 2012 con la passione e la nostalgia per i videogiochi della mia infanzia, quelli che si caricavano con il nastro magnetico e che richiedevano pazienza e fantasia. Il mio obiettivo principale è stato quello di preservare il materiale che ho recuperato nel corso degli anni, che altrimenti sarebbe andato perso, e che testimonia la storia e l'evoluzione dei giochi per computer dagli anni '80 ai primi anni '90.

Benvenuti nel gruppo ufficiale di Retro&Games Uno spazio interamente dedicato all'immenso mondo del retrogaming e del retrocomputing, dove poter rivivere le sue magiche emozioni grazie ai ricordi, alle informazioni, agli aneddoti e alle curiosità condivise insieme a tanti appassionati, esperti e collezionisti.

P-LAB PROJECTS (Claudio Parmigiani) Un caro Amico !!!

L’Associazione Culturale “Vintage Computer Club Italia” nasce ufficialmente nel mese di novembre 2016, ma con radici profonde a partire dal Retrocomputer Club Italia (RCI), attivo già da circa 4 anni con una storia di aggregazione di appassionati distribuiti su tutto il territorio italiano. Lo scopo dell'Associazione Culturale è quello di promuovere, preservare, divulgare tutto ciò che è inerente la Storia dell’Informatica, nonché proporre una “casa comune” per tutte quelle Associazioni che hanno lo stesso obiettivo.

…to PEEK&POKE, one of the few permanent displays of vintage computing technology in Europe. Opened in 2007 as an educational and a non-profit project by a couple of computer enthusiasts, the museum today spreads across 300 square meters and features more than 1000 exhibits from the world and local computer history alike. We are home to anything from calculators and game consoles to rare and obsolete computers from the 20th century, as well as an extensive library of computer books and magazines from that era. Take a break from an ever-advancing computer world of today and step into the past at a place we hope to always be a fun gathering space for younger generations to envision our future by learning from the technologies of the past.

Oh, and not to forget… Most of our exhibits can be peeked at and poked as much as you'd like! :)

It could take a lot to tell about our group, so I’ll try to sum it up as much as I can. Me (Xad) and Fox started about in 1982, by using a ZX81.

We used to spend hours and hours typing in programs written in Basic from various computer magazines to see what they did. The programs were often very basic Games that did not always work or even save properly to tape, and would sometimes fail to re-load before they have even been run.

The ZX81 had this horrible membrane keyboard. The ZX81 that we owned also had a dodgy power cable that could full out at any time after hours of entering thousands of lines of code containing endless lines of data.. Then we founded a group, called ‘Dracula Soft‘. It happened in 1982-83, we were three: Xad, Leo, Fox. At the beginning we had fun programming in LM (Language Machine) with a Commodore 64. I remember the nights we three spent in my very small bedroom to code and to listen to the games sound files. Personally, I enjoyed so much those kinds of music and I adored theirs authors, people like Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway, Ben Daglish.

Il Museo del Computer rappresenta attualmente il più grande museo esistente in Europa. È un museo reale e visitabile su appuntamento, un museo dove il visitatore non si limita ad osservare, ma può toccare, accendere, utilizzare pressoché tutte le macchine. Il suo catalogo è composto da oltre 7000 apparecchiature catalogate su circa 10000, di oltre 5000 modelli differenti; oltre 5000 volumi tra manuali e testi; oltre 10000 numeri di oltre 100 riviste diverse; centinaia di software diversi; migliaia di foto, di manuali, di schede tecniche, disponibili online sul nostro sito internet; un’attività di raccolta di oltre 20 anni; più di 50.000 Km percorsi ogni anno, in Italia ed in Europa, per salvare macchine d’importanza storica. Stiamo riallestendo dopo un trasferimento di sede che ha richiesto risorse e tempi enormi, e tra pochissimo saremo nuovamente operativi al 100%.

A celebration of old calculators showing the evolution from mechanical calculator to pocket electronic calculator.

Il mio interesse per il mondo dell'informatica nacque appena finito il liceo, prima di partire per l'avventura universitaria al Politecnico di Milano, dopo aver acquistato il primo numero di una rivista, Micro e Personal Computer nel Settembre 1979. Così dopo aver consultato la "Guida Mercato", che era suddivisa tra Personal Computer, Calcolatrici Programmabili e Schede a Microprocessore, e compatibilmente con il budget a disposizione decisi di acquistare una calcolatrice programmabile.

The European SOciety for COmputer Preservation.

Au début des années 80, j'étais un passionné d'ordinateurs de poches et autres calculatrices programmables. Puis j'ai cessé de m'y intéresser pendant une vingtaine d'années. Mais tout au long de ces années, j'ai lu et relu les numéros des revues "L'ordinateur de Poche" ou de "List" qui traitaient de ces machines.

Nel presentarci useremo una sola parola….nostalgici…. I computer (o meglio…i retrocomputer) che presentiamo su questo sito hanno fatto la storia dell’informatica…. Hanno accompagnato molte delle nostre giornate di adolescenti ed adulti affascinandoci con le loro capacità e facendoci sognare interagendo con lo schermo televisivo…

Questo sito è dedicato a me !
Senza passare per immodesto, cosa pretendete da un sito intitolato ad una persona?
A parte gli scherzi, queste pagine sono l’evoluzione del vecchio sito personale, che ormai ha lasciato il tempo che trova… oggi sono di moda i blog, per cui non mi restava che adeguarmi a questa nuova tendenza!

Collection Images bookmarks Retrocomputing.

Settorezero.com è un blog personale di Giovanni Bernardo (CyB3rn0id) online dal 25 Ottobre 2007 incentrato sull'elettronica embedded, programmazione microcontrollori (PIC® in particolare, ma anche ESP8266 e Arduino), retrogaming, retrocomputer, domotica, automazione, cultura maker e storie/curiosità relative a questi argomenti. Non è una testata giornalistica, quindi non è una pubblicazione a carattere periodico, né un sito a carattere commerciale.

Zeptobars started in 2012, when I was working on "homemade" ICs. Before trying to design or make your own it is beneficial to look at work of others. This on-hands experience is invaluable. Original goals were to observe manufacturing of MIFARE tags at Mikron, which then was starting manufacturing on 180nm technology (this was concluded in 2013), look closer at KR580VM80A - CPU of my first computer (this was concluded with full reverse engineering in 2015) and finally - look with greater details at simpler CMOS chips (7400/4000 series) as a starting point for DIY design.

Die Geschichte der Videospiele und Heimcomputer.

Radio e dintorni ... quando la fantasia ti portava lontano ...

La passione per i vecchi calcolatori nacque, quasi per gioco, nel 1996; all'epoca, nella scuola in cui insegno Informatica dal 1987, cercavamo insieme ad una quinta classe un argomento che potesse abbinare tecnologia, storia e scienze matematiche, da sviluppare per l'esame di stato. La scelta ricadde sulla realizzazione di un sito web che ricordasse gli avvenimenti più importanti della storia del calcolo: chiamammo il lavoro "Museo virtuale del computer". Fu appassionante per me e per gli studenti percorrere a ritroso la storia dell'umanità.

TI99IUC. Il TI-99, ad oggi e anche se molti lo credevano... non è mai Morto !...
Ci Sono Giochi Nuovi, Programmi Nuovi, Incontri di appassionati fatti in qualche parte del mondo, Hardware Nuovo... insomma ... il TI-99/4A è ancora VIVO !!! :-D

Who we are

Audio Guide

foto fabrizio Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Fabrizio, and together with other friends we take care of the museum dedicated to Texas Instruments. This voluntary organization was created to preserve, document and share the technology of all the objects that have made the history of Texas Instruments and beyond (for example Apple and HP ), the final goal is the birth of a museum in the city of Rieti (Italy), where in the 1970s he built one of the most important factories in Italy and Europe.
Much of the technology we enjoy today, such as personal computers, smartphones, tablets, gaming systems, and myriad other devices equipped with a microprocessor “brain,” has its genesis in technologies developed as a result of tenacious experimentation.
We have been passionate about all types of technology since we were children, we try to arouse everyone's curiosity but especially boys and girls from generations younger than ours, we are promoters of many initiatives, including cultural ones, such as conferences, but above all participation in exhibitions, fairs, meetings with students in schools and museums by making our Texas Instruments material available.
This museum is always looking for watches, calculators, games, computers of historical interest. If you own one of these items made primarily in the 20th century, the museum may be interested.
If you have something that seems to match these interests and are looking for a new home, please contact us with information about your item, which you would like to donate or sell.
