The vapourware Tomy expansions:

\- The 5"1/4 diskdrive\

\- The printer\
|

\- The big box under the tutor might be the the RAM expansion (+48k)\
|
||||
\- The little black box before the diskdrive might be the speech synthesizer...
|
||||
|

These devices seem to have never been released...

text: 'I have a pair of Pyuuta Mk IIs. As noted, the keyboard is not the same as the US Tutor''''s. That is not the only difference, however. The Tutor has two ROMs: one for the OS (including GBASIC) and one for BASIC. Only the first ROM is present in the Mk II. There is a cartridge (BASIC1) that adds this ROM to the Mk II so that it ends up being just like a US Tutor, but it doesn''''t come that way out of the box. There is also a printer interface for it that plugs into the expansion port at the back (this can connect to standard Centronics-style parallel printers using the included cable).'

There''''s an interesting site about TMS99xx stuff :
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.avjd51.dsl.pipex.com/
|
||||
|
||||
Has quite a lot of stuff on the TI TMS9900/TMS9995 hardware including a breadboard self-build computer based on the TMS9995
|
||||
|
||||
Well worth a look !

Well I don't know much things about this one. It seems that the only thing that differs from the [Tomy Tutor](/museum/tomy-tutor-pyuuta/) is the keyboard. Now there is a real keyboard, all white. So the funky pink space bar has disapeared, booo :o(
|
||||
|
||||
It seems too that this model was only sold in Japan for a short time in 1984, one year after the release of its young brother the Pyutta "1".
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to know more about this rare machine, please read the description of the [Pyuuta/Tomy Tutor](/museum/tomy-tutor-pyuuta/).
