I'm interested in getting the mini-memory cartridge mainly for its
assembly language capabilities.  I have several question that
I'm in hopes someone can answer for me.  Any help will be
appreciated.

	   The mini-memory cartridge comes with 4K of RAM.  Can
	I also address the internal 16K of RAM using assembly
	language?

	   Can I directly address the video and speech processors?

	   I was told that the only way to address the external
	memory (32K expansion RAM), was with LOGO or with
	extended BASIC.  Is this true?

	   Finally, (and probably more fundamentally), at $99.95 (about
	2 times the current selling price), is the mini-memory worth
	it?  Or should I be taking another route?

Please no comments like, "Get rid of it and get a better machine."  I'm
a diehard and believe it still has potential.

			I'm gonna die with my TI, :-)
