I have one of the TT-1s. I was one of the beta testers back in the stone age, and still smile when I see my call in the documentation. I need to get a new GPS for it, as mine is one of the equally ancient Rand McNally GPS units.
I do need to make sure I have the configuration program somewhere!

Hank,
I am, er..slightly older...than Byon, but Byon has been writing code from the womb. So this TT1 thing...did it run on steam, require FORTRAN, and need IBM punch cards to set it up? How did the electricity get through the airwaves before Hertz invented
it? Byon and I used to go to a lot of Ham shows, and people would constantly bring us these ancient things to configure for them. It seems nothing can actually kill a TT3, and if you can't find an adult capable of programming one,? you can always find a 12
year old kid who knows what "USB drivers" and "Com Ports" are, and don't even know that parallel ports were once a thing.?

Many on this list must be smiling along with me right now.? What a youngster you must be, Allen.? ?:)
That's an easy question (falsehood) to answer (correct).?
TT1 and TT2 came before.? From what I understand all the dinosaurs had already left Vegas by that time.? Plenty of lounge lizards are still around, though; they will never become extinct and will happily roam the earth until the end of
time.

Hank,
As far as I know, there were no Byonics products prior to the TT3.?
