Yes, the TI-99/4 or /4a (a later model).    Have your friend check
out "Home Computing" magazine as it's dedicated to the TI-99/4a,
Cmdr. 64, Apple ][(?), and other "home" computers.

The TI machine has since been orphaned by TI (October '83) but the
number of owners is quite large and the number of active user's
groups is still very high.  I don't know the names of any specific
group ('cept here in Dallas) as I wasn't THAT "into" the ol' machine.

P.S.  There's also the 'net.micro.ti' news/notes group.
P.P.S. Try sending mail to doug@gould9 who, I believe, is in
	San Diego.
