I have the last version in use. Also I have renamed the two files to XB29GEMC.bin and XB29GEMG.bin. Unfortunately it does not work. The normal TI-XB version works fine, so it can't be the hardware.

The current Extended Basic G.E.M is not executable on a real TI-99/4A with NANOPEB. Either the TI emits a whistling sound and crashes or after selecting options 1-9 in the main menu only black blocks are displayed and the TI crashes as well. I assume that the XB G.E.M. is similarly extensive as the XB 2.7 Suite. The latter version definitely does not run on the FINAL GROM 99 with the original TI-99/4A. In the emulators the whole package works. Maybe the XB G.E.M. - version is too big for the FINAL GROM 99. Greetings Gernot

Unfortunately, access to the three floppy drives of the NANOPEB in Rich Editor & Assembler V=2022 does not work in this version either. The RXB package 2022 is called up on the FINALGROM99. If the D Directory option is selected, the TI-99 hangs. In the RXB this always works perfectly. This problem started with RXB version 2020. It is certainly difficult to find where the problem lies with this behaviour. Nice greeting Gernot

Thank for the fast answer. There are different combinations. WITH "2" the directory can be queried in XB mode with CALL DIR(2). With a further call Dir("DSK1."), the TI crashes. With a further attempt it works and the files are indicated. With "3" entry into the REA. "D" and "1" the files are displayed. From "DSK1." works. At a further attempt the TI crashes again. Only after I have switched off the TI completely, it works again. And now the worse news, in the RXB 2015 I can not so understand. The change from XB to EA with Call EA runs faster in RXB 2015.

Where can I order the F18 MK2 ? I would like to order some. Kind regards Gernot

Thanks for the answer. I own the FG99 and have also saved the CF2K program on one of NANOPEB's DISK volumes. This all works fine. The only thought came to me in recent days when I burned the XB 2.7 Suite and RXB2015 software onto UberGrom-Cartridges. I would like to run the RXB2015 software and the tools or games on a cartridge. For this I would have to know how the creation of the individual images.BIN works. I know that is not an easy thing and probably requires knowledge that I do not have. It was just such a thought. The GF99 from RB is one of the best expansion for the TI. Almost all modules, disks and other software can be stored on it and all work without changing the cartridge

How are the UBERGROM images of the XB 2.7 Suite actually put together and what tools are being used for this development? I ask because I use the NANO PEB and for the program CF2K in version 2.5 would be the better tool for it. Only I do not know, how the program Compact Flash HDXS can be changed and whether that is possible at all. Perhaps the tools under points E, L, M, N are no longer required and the free space could be used for other requests / suggestions.

Thank you for the information. is good for me, because otherwise the project Self-Catrige would be over again.

Is there a real replacement or a pin-compatible alternative for the chip AT49F040-90JC? The chip is hard to come with, contains lead and is not RoHS compliant. I got the Mini Pro and two pieces of PCB Fetzner Ubergrom board and will buld my own Cartridge. The problem is that the 1284P is easy to get, but the AT49F040 ... chip is not. Nice greetings Gernot

A big thank you to all of you who always have an answer for me. Beautiful evening

Why single XB2.7S image? The Mechtronic Basic XBPlus.bin, XBPlusd.bin, XBPlusg.bin or Super Extended Basic (2.5, 2.6) - superxbc.bin, superxbd.bin, superxg.bin or the RXB 2015 - rxb2015c.bin, rxb2015d.bin, rxb2015g. I am composed of 3 parts of the program. Actually, the XB2.7 should also be able to be loaded in FG99

Is there a Final Grom 99 version of the XB 2.7 Suite Cart? I do not currently know what are the big and crucial differences between the different XB versions. Are the RXB 2015/2016/2018 versions similar to the XB 2.7, apart from the additional tools. Will the RXB 2018 also get new Commands? The MLOAD command of XB2.7 is very handy.

I will now first of all think about, whether i should invest in this old technology even more money, or i just stay with the Classic 99 and experiment with this emulator a little. It costs nothing and it just works. 16 years ago I had a PBox with all the cards from Michael Becker, including the TI-99 / 4A (snug99) with already the TI Extended Basic. The configuration, I should not have sold anymore. I was able to read out all the modules and save the images. No module was needed for the following work anymore. There was playing and programming just great.
