TI-GAMER Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I am in need of a Working Mini memory Cart. If anyone has one that they would let go, please let me know of a price including slow poke shipping. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budz2355 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Buddy bear(?) on ebay seems to have them pretty regularly. He normally sells them between 35-50 with a COPY of the manual. Also this could be a repro cart with a burned rom or replacement clamshell (he once sent me a strike three with obviously reprinted label and not correctly branded or colored clamshell) so just know what you are paying for if you choose this readily available route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I want Strike Three!, but it is hard ro find an original. If you don't mind me asking, what was his asking price for the repro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The Strike Three! cartridges came in several variants back in the day: With a gold foil label on the normal label location or with a typewritten white label on the top of the case. The typewritten label came later (I have both types). As to cases--some were black and some were beige, some had the smooth pebbled square on the underside and some had the standard TI stamp. In the latter instance, there won't be a serial number or an LTA/ATA date (the fields will be blank). Competition Computer and TexComp were the only companies selling cartridge repros. Theirs will often have diagnostics slightly different than the originals of cartridges (and I suspect many the Competition repros (the ones of DataBioTics titles) were actually a batch of surplus TerxComp cartridges that they bought after TexComp shut down, based on the examples I've received over the years). Competition did repro a bunch of Funware titles themselves--those also come in several label varieties (early, white Competition labels and later, photoshopped color labels using the Funware design and no mention of Competition). Competition used original Funware parts for their repros (and the repros were all of titles that had never been released back in the day or (in the case of Schnoz-Ola) which had a very limited number of originals). I've already parted with my spare MiniMemory, but I'll look to see if I've got any of them in my recent cartridge case purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I paid $25 a couple or years ago. I'm not really into repros, but. Ow that you mention it I haven't seen a cart come up for sale in a while.

Opry99er Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Mini Mem is a cool cart. I had two, but gave one to a friend (along with a TI) when he was helping me design graphics for the original Beryl Reichardt demos. This was before Magellan and before most of the PC-based char designers came out. I gave him the TI and the cart and a BASIC Reference book, he would periodically give me the cart to take home and load the BASIC program and save it to disk. Then I would give him back the cart with some of MY graphics loaded onto IT. Terribly retro and fun. Good days, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TI-GAMER Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Did anyone here on Atariage win this auction? http://www.ebay.com/itm/311351216031?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Some excellent carts there... XB, WRITER, MINIMEM, DM2... Certainly nothing hyper rare, but a very good grouping of cartridges. The price was solid... Would have liked to have a Writer binder with it, but still... I may have paid that price.

+Ksarul Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I wouldn't have needed the cartridges as I already have them, but I definitely could have used those cartridge-holding pages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TI-GAMER Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I was hoping that someone here bought it and wanted to sell the Mini Memory separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TI-GAMER Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I came across a batch of Mini Memory Cartridges that I purchased. I wont have them in my hands until the end of next week. I also plan on doing the External Battery Upgrade to all of them. If anyone is interested in one just let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TI-GAMER Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Wow Guys!!! It's only been a couple of hours. Lots of PM's for these things. I wont have any more available if all of the current offer's go through. If for some reason more become available I will update this post. Thanks Again!
