Most people mentioning the TI-95 are confusing it with one of the two
calculators
mentioned above. There was, however, a real TI-95. Here's the relevant quote
from
the Unoffical Calc-TI FAQ:

 5.1: Information on the TI-95 (Thanks to Terrie Donahue <ti-cares@ti.com>)
      The TI-95 was introduced by Texas Instruments in mid 1986 and was
      discontinued in late 1989. It had 36K of built-in ROM and 8K of
      built-in RAM, with 7200 bytes of RAM available to the user. It had a
      QWERTY keyboard with 65 keys. It also used software cartridges (32K)
      and RAM cartridges (8K). It used an algebraic operating system, had
      15 levels of parenthesis, 8 pending operations, and over 200
      functions. It also had an "ASM" function which increased program
      execution by converting label addresses used by the program into
      absolute addresses. This product is not to be mistaken with TI's
      newest graphing calculator, the TI-92.
