As you can see this is a control pad of the Ion iCade case. It is designed to fit an iPad and has a built in stand for holding it.
The iCade is designed to work as a Bluetooth keyboard of sorts with an iPad.
It uses a standard arcade control wiring and is very easy to modify it to work with any interface can convert the signal from Analog to USB, like the PCB of a Logitech Dual Action joypad.

Texas Instruments TI-99/4 Fixed
Defect:
Fix:
The problem are the pins oxidized of the power switch, i have sprayed R-11 and the problem it’s disappeared completely.
I left turned on the computer for more than 2 hours and i have made a 50 x power cycle (ON/OFF) and the problem is no longer appeared.
Note:
I thought there had to be a VDP RAM problem with a diagnosis made remotely without having the TI-99/4 in the laboratory.
To avoid using the lame RF modulator i have used a standard Commodore 64 composite cable that works very well with a NTSC composite video output.

Apple Computer 1, also known later as the Apple I, or Apple-1, was released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. It was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. Wozniak’s friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer.
The Apple I was Apple’s first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only means of transportation, a VW Microbus, and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500. It was demonstrated in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.

Pravetz computers
Pravetz (Правец in the original Cyrillic, series 8 and series 16) were Bulgarian computers, manufactured mainly in the town of Pravetz. Some components and software were produced in Stara Zagora, Plovdiv, and other Bulgarian cities.
The first Bulgarian-made personal computer, IMKO-1, was a prototype of the Pravetz computers that were developed by Ivan Vassilev Marangozov, who was often accused of cloning the Apple II. A few early models were produced at the ITKR (pronounced ee-teh-kah-reh, Institute of Technical Cybernetics and Robotics), a section of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Industrial production in Pravetz started shortly after.
Pravetz computers were of major importance in the economy of the Comecon.
In October 2013, a privately held Bulgarian company claimed in their website to have the rights on the trademark and misleadingly announced that “Pravetz Computers are returning to market”. In fact, the company has no link to the original “Pravetz” computers known during the Soviet Era.
