notes: label: Description
content: Texas Instruments was one of the first companies to manufacture integrated circuits on wafers of silicon. This one is marked on a tag on the back: TMS 0200 (/) TEXAS INSTRUMENTS. The thin circular disc fits in a paper sleeve. The sleeve is marked: TMS 0200. A mark on the adjacent rim of the styrofoam container reads: 0200.

content: The dimensions given are those of the sleeve.
label: Description
content: According to information provided with the donation: "The 0200 / 0300 system is an expansion of the TMS 0100. The inadequacies of the 0100 chip, namely the expandability and increased functional capability were overcome by splitting the ROM from the processor block of logic. The multichip system has the main processor (TMS 0200) communicating to a 1-4K bits of ROM (TMS 0300, 0400) a printer interface chip and a register chip for program storage."
