+Schmitzi Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 for transferring disks. hmm, I have this cartridge, but have to check for the manual.... I only found this here: Corcomp-Cursor-TI-IBM-Connection.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Back in the day, this was a great little package, provided you had a DS/DD controller card, which most people did not. If I remember right there was one guy who tried this with his Myarc controller but for some reason it didn't work, but it did on another guys Myarc controller. I never found out what the problem was. Now days not many PC's even have a disk drive. Using wordprocessing files between the PC & TI back then was interesting. I remember transferring them over the RS-232 and then converting them with the DF128/80 program, and then having to perform extra formatting, it was time consuming! Now days it only takes a couple of seconds, just view them with TI99Dir, copy and paste the TI text into the PC format document you want. On a personal note, for what that guy wants for that cartridge, you would be further ahead by purchasing an << HDX >> modified RS-232 for less money from Arcadeshopper. It would give you a lot more utility for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Or, if you want the EPROM for a DIY cartridge, I can burn the EPROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 what is this? a disk utility to read ds/dd ibm formatted diskettes on the ti.. I'll sell you a rom for the black boards for $7.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 For anybody looking to find a few TMS9900 microprocessor chips, here are some from the second source that TI was required to have for military sales. They are S9900 chips and can be used to replace the 9900 without any problems. A group of four is only $9.95 plus shipping. I use this seller a lot--and I've almost never had problems with items they sold (their 27C160s only work in 16-bit mode, but that is an almost universal problem with the die revision they have on hand--and this is the only problem item they've ever provided me). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 that TI was required to have for military sales. Are these hardened against EMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 And for those of you that just have to have an SBP9989 in their collection, here are some for sale (they're even in packaging from the origanization I work for. . .). Of course, the price is crazy, but then again, they don't come up too often (I think I bought mine from Jean Louis when he had some spares a few years ago).

ckoba Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 From a purely pragmatic standpoint, if we get nuked again (either by the idiots running the civilian power plants or the Norks figuring out how to build a guidance package) ... ... keeping a working CPU in a console would be the least of my worries. Plus that would just harden the CPU itself; everything else would fry. Better to build a Faraday cage in the basement ...

I suspect that David Miscavige is twisted enough to think that a single TI, with a daisy-chain of Jim's PEB splitters, connecting a bevy of PEBs with battery-backed RAM disks (with DSRs in RAM), would be *exactly* what LRH would have done to preserve his blatherings for posterity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
