No I confirm either something's changed on Corey's server or something in the last couple of revisions of the TIPI software has broken chatti and chess

Unless he has moved them, the guy on ebay that bought out Dhein's.  He had several when I bought mine.  

Ahh him

It may also be a time to get for yourself a Myarc 512K card and modify it for use for the Geneve.

Find another. I may have the keyboard but not sure it's worth the work to remove one

[Geneve Software? What will people run once they repair those boards?]

 It should be either left mixed in the TI section or have its own.. not mixed in with 'other' incompatible systems. imho

Use WDS1 instead of HDS1 the dsr uses that device name

[Mouster USB to DB9 adapter]

This seems like an interesting device:
https://hackaday.com/2021/01/22/mouster-brings-usb-to-retro-computers/
 
A very small USB adapter that takes any USB mouse (not only PS2) and turns signals into DB9 for the joystick port.
Works with some USB game controllers too. Wonder if it would be any good on the TI-99/4a.  
 
Unfortunately firmware source code doesn’t seem to be available and the price is perhaps a bit steep (25 euros), but still acceptable.

Likely it requires power on the joystick port like this did

Something occurred me, shouldn't we be putting all these Geneve post in the new sub-forum we created for the 99/8, tomy tutor etc?

nope geneve isn't in that list

 

[does the 32k sidecar ram expansion for the ti99 add to the 16k ram already on board the computer?]

or does it just override it? so you only get 32k as opposed to 48k?

Did you read the FAQ? It adds 32k to the cpu the 16k in the console is VDP RAM

[SCSI Card Update??]

raise of hands who's using a scsi2sd? if so what model?

[Zoom-TI-99ers Pandemic 4A Club Online Virtual Meetup]

[nanoPEB Power supply]

1- if you do this with a speech in between it won't work.. due to speech cutting that line off from the side port..  you can jumper across it if you like soldering tho

2- if it worked reliably this way, the manufacturer would have used the sideport power.. it doesn't.. it may for one person sometimes, but it doesn't for everyone. ESPECIALLY with consoles with weak power (bad caps?) 

[SCSI Card Update??]

Hey brainy guys and gals.
What's the best SCSI drive replacement?
I have a number of syquest and zip drives hooked to my SCSI controller.
I'd like to use an SD card as storage, so I can just do a backup by pluging in to a pc, and using some of the great tools that are available to work on images.
Thanks!

No... I don't have any objection to letting it out. But I scanned all my floppy disks, and I come up without a complete set of files. More time needed.

 

That'd be great, whenever you have time

In 1989, I started using GenProg for anything (4A programs mainly). Then, to simplify things, I ported to native MDOS without too much dependencies. Not sure how I would get back to GPL mode code after  I used too much memory... but this toolchain worked for me, and replaced Editor/Assembler (or Funlweb)

 

1 floppy disk:

AUTOEXEC - sets up a DSK5 ramdisk and copies all the tools and source code there.

QDE - Nice editor in native MDOS, edit source code, drop to command prompt when done 

DOIT - batch file runs GenAsm and GenLink to produce a program, AQA

!DOIT - input file to GenLink describing the link process for native MDOS (earlier I had a GPL flavor too)

AQA - run my game

2nd floppy disk has my game files

Reboot (why I never made an exit function I dunno)

 

AQA was an RPG that Graig Donini and I developed over the 80s. The maps were great. It had the overworld. Dungeons and towns you could enter. The graphics were created with much care, but it didn't have much interaction besides whack-an-orc. (I was really stumped doing any computer AI.) Most of my time over the years went into (always new versions of) the map editing mode, and map printer!  So when I stopped around 1992, it was a Geneve native game. (Then I ported it to Mac, and drifted away to Linux...)

 

I had a similar GenProg toolchain to assemble Bubble Plane (4A 32K cart of the floppy version), and GWAFR (a GPL mode 9938 fractals program, never released.)

 

 

cool   is AQA somewhere available to try? or is it undistributed?

We are hoping to at some point in time, have a Github repository where future development efforts can occur.  That's my dream, but for that to really occur for the Geneve, other things have to  happen.  Will it happen?  Hard to say as everyone has busy schedules and their own personal projects.

 

As far as @FarmerPotato and his Geneve 2020, the next release of MDOS and a Geneve Eprom upgrade will have the ability to boot directly from the TIPI  which should assist @FarmerPotato in getting file I/O capability for development if he wants to connect with existing TI-99/4A or Geneve hardware.  Either way, it would open the ability to file i/o and other capabilities provided by TIPI more easily than developing other new hardware right off the bat as well to have a functioning platform for development and testing.

 

 

 

 

I can set up one and invite you and tim and whoever else.. lmk

I pinged Richard on facebook and asked him to peek in here. He's pretty busy with real life right now though so set your expectations accordingly.

Nanopeb requires a regulated 5v power supply at least 2amps everyone has had reliability issues who has tried to get around this requirement
