sprintcarfan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Greetings all... had a TI (bare console, cassette, TI Invaders, and that's it) when I was 10 or 11 in the early 80's. Been playing around with one again lately. I have a V1 Nanopeb and I've managed to get Ti99Hdx working fine so I can transfer files from a PC to the CF card. What's not clear from the documenation is whether or not I should be able to use "SAVE HDX1.PROGRAM" or "OLD HDX1.PROGRAM" from a Basic or XB prompt. Is that only possible with a proper TI RS232 card with the add-on HDX board? Seems like the Nanopeb would need to somehow tell the console that there is a hard drive connected (via DSR?) and just opening Ti99Hdx on the PC wouldn't be enough to just allow the console to know about a hard drive.

John You're right,you need an RS232 card with the add-on HDX board to use HDX1 as a real device. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Nano only works in the cfs program. You would need a ti rs232 card and pbox to use HDX1 as a device.. There are some pbox for sale recently announced. And I sell the mod daughter boards on my site or premodded rs232 cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever find a P-box that's reasonable, I would buy one... for now I'll make do with the Nanopeb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 ... for now I'll make do with the Nanopeb. I give you six months! You'll be dying to expand! OH, BTW -- << CLICK HERE >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprintcarfan Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 That's just down the road, but it's needs another $130 in expansion cards to make it useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Is 125 w the ti cards reasonable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Come to the Faire Nov. 1. There is often free stuff! ...lee This is true, and I have also tried to convince Zach to bring some stuff (I am not certain if he feels a couple dozen people or so is enough to make the trip worth-while, but I have thrown it at him a few times.) Speaking of, any chance there will be some HDX kits or HDX-modified RS232 cards at the Faire? I have been convinced to go that route, and I have even promised myself to not spend any more money on TI stuff to save up a cash-stash to bring with me.
