Still in need of this, let me know if you have anything.

The Amiga has been sold.

Hey everybody, I'm selling my other Amiga 4000 so I can get a Hasselblad 500 c/m. The computer is in good shape and boots up just fine. I don't have any programs to test the floppy drive with, but it did detect a blank disk I put into it. The computer was used for video editing, so it comes with a Video Toaster card and the program installed on the harddrive(I was able to start the program). Also included in the lot is an Amiga keyboard, I haven't typed with it but have used it to navigate the desktop since I don't have a mouse for this computer. The clock battery has also been removed from this unit, I didn't really see any damage around where it was though. I'm looking to get $400 plus shipping, but don't be afraid to shoot me an offer.

Or just get an adapter, the power supplies have got the same output just different shaped connectors.

Make sure you get a Commodore 128 power supply, the original C64 power supplies have a tendency to fry computers.

So, I'm currently working on the Arduino section of a project involving the TI-99, but I wanted to see about making a splash screen for when the program is running. I found the Grapefruit utility to help me make this screenshot by Atari1977, on Flickra\ However I had to cut off quite bit of my school's logo to make it look right, and even then it's slightly squeezed. So what I wanted to ask, is there a way to fully render my school's logo in Basic or Extend Basic, or would I have to go into assembly to make it work?

I have the cable to connect the TI-99 to the tape recorder, I just need a tape recorder.

I need a cheap cassette tape recorder to use with my TI-99 computer, let me know if you have anything available.

I'm looking for a composite cable for the TI-99

Here's what I've got so far, I could fit my school's mascot's head into the "grapefruit" utility. I'm using Classic99, for some reason those green lines are showing up in the screen shot. screenshot by Atari1977, on Flickr I figured out how to use the CALL KEY command(kind of) with this code 7000 CALL KEY(0,KEY,STATUS) 7010 IF STATUS=0 THEN 7000 7020 IF STATUS=-1 THEN 7000 7030 CALL SOUND(2000,4000,3) Though I can't get figure out how to get it work with a specific key yet, right now you can just press anything to make it go.

Never mind, figured it out.

Alright I got the image centered. Where should I put the CALL COLOR command? I've tried placing it in various spots but I just keep coloring the space around the image in the center.

I found the grapefruit utility to convert images into a BASIC, however I noticed from a quick test that the image isn't centered using the code grapefruit provides. Is there anyway to do center it? Here's the last part of the code, if you need the rest, I'll post it. 6200 REM TEST OF CHARACTER DEFINITIONS 6210 CALL CLEAR 6220 FOR C=0 TO 7 6230 FOR L=0 TO 15 6240 CALL HCHAR(L+1,C+1,32+L*8+C) 6250 NEXT L 6260 NEXT C 6270 GOTO 6270

Well I just need two colors, blue and yellow for my school's logo. Though the logo can just be one character and I can set the background to the other. So when you say 127 redfinable characters, how big of a grid does that work out to be?

So for making a splash screen of my school's logo, is this possible in BASIC? I know I can make sprites, but can they be big enough to take up most of the screen?

#1 sounds good, for audio out do you just mean the cable that would normally hook into a tape deck's microphone input?

If it's possible to do it on the Vic-20 without extra hardware, I'd rather use that. I asked about the TI-99 primarily because I managed to pick one up around my school for cheap.

So is the nanopeb/CF7 still sold on that website Robert linked to, or should I just keep a lookout for one that comes up for sale on this website or ebay?

So, why is it not possible for me to write a program in Assembly(In an emulator), put it on a cartridge or tape, and have it run natively on the TI-99 as any program that could utilize a peripheral could do? Just curious, but I will look into getting one of those CF7/NanoPEB devices.

My thoughts exactly . I'm not really familiar with Basic or Assembly language, not sure which one it would be best to write the TI-99's program in. I am in the process of learning Basic at least. All it really needs to do is a splash screen of my schools logo, then send off the chain of commands to be transmitted(there are several computer science people in my section that can handle the arduino side of things).

This Rube Goldberg machine has to be set up around spring, so I think we've got time.

Would it be possible to use the expansion port? I kinda envisioned building a new sidecar unit to house this expansion. We have a circuit board printing service(top and bottom only and no silk screen, but it's free for me) and assuming I can get this off the ground, it might even be possible for me to 3d print a case for it.

Hello, I'm currently going to school for engineering and our section has to build a massive Rube Goldberg machine. So I figured I could inject some retro goodness into it by having a a TI-99/4a(I acquired one locally for cheap) control an RC car. So I need to know a few things. I'm currently thinking that the easiest thing to do would be to get the TI-99 to generate signals through the expansion port that could then be translated by an Arduino controller. So where should my group start for programming using the serial port? Second, what kind of connector exactly do I need to hook into the TI-99's edge connector expansion port? EDIT:Mean expansion port, not serial connection

Hello, I saw this ad on craigslist, http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/atq/4102410867.html it lists a Ti-99/4a with expansion chassis, monitor, keyboard(op's words), mouse, paddles, software(not sure what software). I've messaged the poster, asking for pictures, but wanted to ask this here. Assuming it actually comes with all that and is in good shape, what is the price I should expect to pay?
