The Triton
Turbo XT


The Triton Turbo XT was an XT computer that you could hook up through your TI keyboard using the TurboXT Bridge Box. It wasn't much more than a switch box to switch between the TI and the XT. Even though, it is an interesting part of the TI history.

The XT supplied, contained an Intel 8088-2, running at 8 and 4.77 MHZ, and came with 256K RAM. The computer and bridge box sold for $499.00 in early 1987.
