If you want to use it (the 99/4a) you might try the UCSD p-System on it.       
I hear that Pecan Software at 1410 39th St.  Brooklyn, NY 11218                
has a p-System running on the old TI-99/4a.                                    
                                                                               
While not a Motorola Fanatic I am using an Atari MEGA ST2 (about $1600).       
It has 2 Meg of RAM and a 68000. My old computer was a                         
Western Digital Pascal MicroEngine with only 64K bytes.                        
                                                                              
I don't like the Intel '86 family archetecture: the Segmented Memory
archetecture is a real bother.

I am not involved with Pecan. I am just a user of their Atari ST p-System.
