Some ASIs do have a circular sliderule (or similar) around the edge to calculate true airspeed, but all ASIs necessarily show indicated airspeed because that's what has the most aerodynamic significance for the plane (i.e. it's going to rotate, climb, approach, stall, etc. at the same indicated airspeeds at 10,000 ft density altitude and at sea level, even though the true airspeeds are significantly different). What is the density altitude is the TAS for the Beech 1900 specified at? 25,000 ft? If so, then divide by about 1.5 to find out what number you should see on the ASI.
