Classic Computing/Retrogaming Club in St. Louis, MO
mos6502 replied to mos6502's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
All these years later and I had forgotten about this post, at that time I was trawling a number of boards (including some I don't frequent regularly) to find like-minded people and this one got away from me. Sorry guys. The group did happen and is called the STL Classic Computing and Retrogaming Club, you can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/429635153738633/ We ended up going with a Facebook group, since it was free and most people already have an account. We've had many meetups and even a few events at the Basement Arcade (the owner is part of the group). The meetups have dropped off as I've got 2 kids now and I've always had a serious interest in music and synthesizers as well (which ties in well to the retro scene) - I'm still interested and present, just no energy to plan stuff for the time being. Hope anyone who would have been interested, either already found us or will now -

St. Louis, MO - at the bottom of my post I also mentioned local pickup is OK for those near enough. -
New old stock 5 1/4" diskettes, double sided double density, in manufacturer's shrinkwrap (3M sealed with band) - I use them on a C64, Vic20 and Atari 800XL flawlessly. Please PM if interested. Estimated manufacture 1998-99 per the box, these were pulled brand new from a warehouse that closed. In addition these are designed to resist damage from temperature extremes, per the box logo. About as good as it gets if you're a retro computing or gaming enthusiast looking to replace old, warped floppies. I have several hundred to sell in total, $10 per box of ten plus shipping, if you'd like to buy multiple boxes (3+) or a large bulk quantity (10+) I'd be open to negotiation, have about 500 (50 boxes) on hand. I'd appreciate buying at least 2 boxes to make it worth my while to ship, but I won't make that a requirement Pictures available if anyone needs them, but it's typical Imation 3M stock. Also open to local pickup in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Thanks, Owen

Speech Synthesizer - Full text to speech?
mos6502 replied to mos6502's topic in TI-99/4A Development
Over 2 years later and here I am looking over this thread, because I ran into the same situation with speech not working and couldn't remember what I did. The commands were all correct, the trick is to make sure they are typed in ALL CAPS, which other posters alluded to but nobody outright said was the solution, so I wanted to make that clear to anyone skimming through quickly. I didn't realize it right away even after re-reading most of the thread :-) The commands to get speech going can be found on page 34 of the Terminal Emulator II manual, located here: http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/ti994a/terminal%20emulator%20ii.pdf -

Yes, TE2 cart in TI BASIC - "I/O error 00". If I unplug the speech module I get the same error. -

The only other carts I have are TI Invaders and Munchman. Don't have cassette or disk drives either. Bummer... -

Actually tried running the Speech Synthesizer today, and I'm getting an error. According to the manual, I should be typing in the following: OPEN #1:"SPEECH",OUTPUT And going from there. But when I run this line I get an "I/O ERROR". Does this mean my speech module is dead? I've reseated it (and the TE2 cart) several times. -
Another noob question... are there any decent music/sound editors/tools out there for this machine? Like a tracker perhaps? I'm looking for something that's a little better than TI's music maker cart, but doesn't require programming it by hand. Thanks!

Thanks, if you're offering to send me one, I may still be in the market. The eBayer I was trying to get mine from is being awfully slow about answering my question about local pickup - and technically I haven't bought the cart yet - if they aren't willing to do that, I'd take you up on this. -

So I can generate individual phonemes with TE2 it appears - can I control other things like speech speed? Any other vocal characteristics I can change? Thanks for all the info so far. Just ordered a speech synthesizer module and TE2 from eBay... this will be my first legit use of the TI-99/4A that I acquired somewhat accidentally from a friend who was moving. -

Lee - thanks, I was hoping that was the case! dendawg - What's XB? Also, is there any advantage to having the Speech Editor cart? I am a musician experimenting with old-school voice synthesizers and ran into some pretty serious limitations with the Commodore Magic Voice, so I was hoping for a little more power/ease of use on the TI. -Owen -
Hello, Is the TI Speech Synthesizer module limited to its internal vocabulary only, or can it do full-on text to speech via the Terminal Emulator II cart? Thanks, Owen

Transfer of .ATR images via APE or Prosystem
mos6502 replied to mos6502's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'm willing to wait for more to be built, a long time if necessary (like 4-8 months). Santosp said he'd get back to me about it sometime this week, we'll see if there's any possibility. -

But wait... you guys haven't seen this? http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/205995-sio2sdpc-combo-for-atari-8-bit/ Unless I'm misunderstanding something, it's supposed to do both (standalone SD storage AND SIO2PC/USB interface). I've asked Santosp (the creator) about it, he's out of them but will be getting back to me... it looks perfect.
