+OLD CS1 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Golly and gee willikers! I have a stapler and paper cutter too! Maybe I'm in the wrong business because my crap looks better than the crap they are selling! Do it. Fleece the hipsters and wanna-be collectors. Be like those turds who sell printed Wikipedia articles as books for $25 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Be like those turds who sell printed Wikipedia articles as books for $25 a pop. WHAT? People really do that? Oh jeez, I know some people are desperate and don't want to end up on the street, but I can't imagine myself ever doing anything like that.

+mizapf Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 In Germany we call politicians and other people from authorities or companies with only modest Internet experience the "Internetausdrucker" ("Internet printers"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Looks like we'll need a DECENT color copy of that in PDF format! If/when it happens, I'll add it to << THE LIST >>. -- EDIT -- I just realized I HAVE that in my Editor/Assembler binder.... give me a few minutes... Here it is... Save 2 BUX... Hey Omega maybe you lost my website link http://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pagina=cerca&ricerca=tombstone&cerca=Cerca I still haven't so much manuals but Tombstone City is present, also in multilanguage Edited April 20, 2018 by ti99iuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I always thought the MiniWriter was a neat idea. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 152994869271 Now, I am assuming that parallel port was only available within the program and not as a standard device. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 It was a neat little idea BITD, especially if someone could not afford a P-Box, but then again DECENT printers were astronomically priced back then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Correct on the assumption. You had to buy the DBT Paraprint cartridge and stick it into the side port to have a full-time printer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Side port or cartridge port? It looks like the cartridge connects directly to a centronics style printer. Don't know anything about the MiniWriter, but that's what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about the MiniWriter, but that's what it looks like. In this case it is the cartridge port, but Databiotics also made a printer interface which connected to the side port, AND it was in a regular cartridge shell for that extra level of confusion.

Omega-TI Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Okay all you current TIPI, FinalGROM99 or Lotharek HxC owners, it looks like his quantity on the .99 cent SD cards is down to only 9 (as of this post). So, if you want to take advantage of those very inexpensive 16MB SD cards, << CLICK HERE >> before it's to late. BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE PROPER SIZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I just can't feel comfortable buying SD cards from unknown sources. Too many fakes plus there is the risk of malware when coming from certain places. I know these are so small that having the size faked is unlikely but I still wouldn't risk it.

To each his own, but from my experience, I've purchased from this place multiple times. Every 16MB SD card I've purchased from them works and I've had no issues... other than the wait for them to arrive. I just bought two more before they are all gone.

+InsaneMultitasker Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 holy sh*t, i'm sitting on a gold mine! Some of his other items for sale are just as (or more) ludicrous. I wonder if he sets the price high hoping to get an offer? I needed a good chuckle today, thanks OLD CS1! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 A couple nice carts. Id maybe pay $40 for that lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 the parker bros. ones pique my interest, maybe id pay upwards of $20 for each of those if they were in good shape (but i'm weird about stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Anyone have $250 to spare for a CorComp floppy controller? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 163019926488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Anyone have $250 to spare for a CorComp floppy controller? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 163019926488 Cough, cough, choke! It would be much, much cheaper to get the 80 track mod for the TI-FDC... and get the same amount of storage space. But for less than that $250.00 a guy could get a 32K sidecar, a TIPI and even a RPi and still have money left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Not everyone walks the same path, Grasshopper. Not certain $250 is the right price, but I paid a fair bit for my DSDD controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think I paid $225 for each of my Myarc and then did the 80 track upgrade. I could see paying 250 in my opinion. but that's about as high as I would go, unless I'm on Ambien then all bets are off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
