This series was upgraded to the TI 1500 class on Motorola 68000 nu-bus, running a real UNIX port.
I installed terminals, ran RS232 lines, and did basic admin work (mostly enabling ttys). The app software was mostly written in COBOL, and Ryan McFarland was the compiler at home base; using built-in ISAM (no formal database, AFAIK).
I was putting these into dealerships with dirt floors. It was an interesting time in my youth.
Edit: the "GOSUB STARTGAME" on their intro cover fills me with confidence in their port of the development tools.
Texas Instruments was the supplier, and the first round of TI 1300 series were 386s.
