3 Reasons why the MBX System
is the number 1 add-on to
The Texas Instruments Home Computers

 Three exciting units make up the MBX Expansion System: the console with an action-input kepad; the triple-axis analog joystick; and the headset microphone. These three components, together with a special group of Solid State Speech cartridges, introduce you and your computer to a unique audio and video experience.

The console and headset microphone allow you to use Voice Recognition, in which your spoken words direct screen action. The console also offers you a built-in, easy-to-access keypad and outstanding Speech Synthesis.

The triple-axis analog joystick features a control knob that offers up to 360 degree object rotation for smoother, more sophisticated control of screen action.

Here's more about the three units...
The Console
The Console offers Speech Synthesis at it's finest. You hear computer-generated speech that is well-modulated with a variety of tones and pitches. Built right into the console is a 64-position keypad, so you can respond quickly and with more flexability to screen action.
Headset Microphone
The microphone, combined with the electronics of the console, lets you use the Voice Recognition... technological wizardry in which your spoken words control screen action. Talk into the headset microphone and the computer responds to your commands.
Full analog Joystick
Features up to 360 degree object rotation and left-to-right, front-to-back proportional control of all movements. Its uniqe pistol grip is comfort-designed to eliminate joystick fatigue. With the auxiliary control buttons and a quick-trigger button.
