I picked up my 99/4A very late (mid-00's, I think), and the battery on MINIMEM gave out and the line-by-line assembler wouldn't load. Still, I had a lot of fun making speech with it. Great system, but a lot of strange ideas. The FN-key stuff, the double-interpreted BASIC, requiring the peripheral expansion box to do assembly work (mini memory and the line-by-line assembler came later).
