    If I understand the history there were various builds of the 99/8 so it's going to be interesting to see if he can get a disk drive to work on it.

    But, he can at least use a tape drive. A tape to .wav to TIfiles converter works fairly well. I used on once. That might be an option.

    The challenge is to get a program into the console and to save the dump data on a disk. If you have means for exchanging files between a PC and a TI-formatted disk this would be great.

     

    Well if it can help i have a PEB with two drives and an HXC SD Card...

    otherwise i have a 5.25" HexBus Drive...

    maybe i will need a guide and software ?

    Couple things:

    1, Dumping ROMS, I think, all you need is a program that reads the ROMS to disk, tape or whatever. Shouldn't even have to open the computer up.

     

    Good to know, i hope this will be so easy ! :D

     

    2. Also, your Italian club website looks real great. good job.

     

    Thank you, i am doing a new section and some news for next days... i hope to do a good work for the TIer community ;)

    Maybe mizapf can help you instruct how to dump the system rom and the p-code rom to share both versions with the community.

    As far as I know the demand for this is still there.

     

    I have no experience or electronic equipment, apart my a simply soldering iron :)

    if this thing can be done without risk of damaging the computer, I will be glad to help :) ... helping us is in the blood and in the spirit of the 99ers people ... maybe not all ... but I got it :)

    maybe they'll agree with you when the value of computer will double in 10 years...

     

    Well, I do not believe that computers (such as C65 or TI 99/8 or more) in the future (about 10 years or more), keep this value or value will be highest ...

    prices so high and the search for machines of this type is only in our generation .... the new generations have grown up with Windows Seven or Apple or Nintendo DS not seek these computers ...

    but i think will born: "Playstation User Club" or "Nintendo DS User" or "IPhone User Club" ;)

     

    I think the price will go down instead of getting up ... I do not believe in an investment of this type ...

     

    In fact, I bought it for myself ... just ... without thinking about investments ....

     

    .....of course that's just my opinion, and in my own interest I hope to be wrong. :grin:

    Oh yes, and congratulations on your win!

    And when you bought this piece of art/history, you made a little history yourself. It is pretty neat to see some of the most passionate collectors are in our little "TI" world.

     

    Thank you Friends :) ...

     

    yes... i am very happy and i can't wait to have the computer... now it's in Indiana state :D

     

    just in Italy is not a good time because there is the crisis and so, a lot of people is not agree with me about this high price... but the desire to have an 8 is too big and i do what i can to do...

     

    another dream is to live near you all... but this at now it's very hard to realize ;)

    thankyou rocky ;) ... it was a dream to have... for me It's like having a beautiful and rare work of art ... :D

     

    just now i must pay the total amount for next 24 months... because I asked for a loan installments and bought the 8.

    i'm just hoping does not come out immediately a 2 .... I would first pay off this

    ...how much is expensive to be lovesick for ti99 ... :P

  8. Posted · Edited by ti99userclub

    Well not so simply... i must read every one with a PEB and see the catalog... all disks are not with all programs on the labels... so i must check one by one...

    Last year I was able to see only 100 discs and have cataloged about 800 programs ...

     

    anyway ... at now ... i not found the two ones you mentioned ;)

    hloberg, i think the same...

    i have a hundreds of original documents, magazines, manuals, Video, books etc... too

    all i am collecting from every part of the world and i am scanning again all the documents that in whtech is not in good shape... and will put on lline for free on my website's database..

    if you want all the stuff you have could be good to put online ;)

    Yes, i never used the CYC emulator but only classic99 or Mess.

     

    so if you think about it's correct to pay the emulator becouse it's better than others, well... it could be possible and correct. but not so expensive, and only for the DVD contents.

     

    maybe could be sold only the emulator licence without the DVD ?

    Yay, another Howard! I wish Cadd would lower the price on their emulator (since it's essentially useless) just to allow people to get the disk. It ain't worth $100 to me to get it, but certainly $25+.

     

    Absolutely agree with unhuman...

    about ti99 stuff... like documents, manuals, books etc... well.... it should be free for all... by now. this is my personal opinion.

    i wish to complete my online DataBase soon.
