  An article on the financial page of the NJ Star Ledger (10/13)
quotes TI spokesmen as saying that TI never intended to announce
its 99/8 computer; that it was only outside rumors that mentioned
it.  The article states that it will *not* be released this year
(if ever).
  The rumors referred to indicated that the 99/8, a follow-on to
the 99/4a, would have 80K of memory and built-in extended BASIC
among other things.
