uhm.. this just sits and blinks fuel and torpedos.. no pipes or birds or instructions Greg

http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/hardware/cables/modem_cable.html your rs232 port on the mac is 9pin or 25 pin.. pinout for that would require more information on what usb to rs232 adapter you have..

I'd think any straight through PC cable would work. 9-25pin PC style Greg

DOSBOX has a configuration file where you tell it what USB rs232 adapter to use for which com port.. that needs to be set up correctly. something on the order of this in your dosbox.conf file serial1=directserial realport:ttyUSB0 I have no way of knowing what the realport is on a mac as I don't have one. That'd be what I would use for USB0 on my Linux box.. and mac uses BSD unix which is the same driver style as linux Greg

I'll have to try that.. Greg

Pre-order is open http://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/?page_id=11#!/~/product/category=5051340&id=21147033

How are you running PC99 on your mac? It's a DOS program. Are you using DOSBOX? Greg

It is mfm.. it has the personality card which then connects to a wds-100 mfm controller mounted in the bottom of the drive box. Then mfm connectors from that to the drive. I have a rodime 15meg in mine.. it has DSK1 support where the WDS1.DSK1. dir is read for DSK1. access..so I toss things in there that I use a lot like the EA editor, char1 file of my preference, dm2k.. etc.. The DSR/FAT are incompatible with software written for hfdc/scsi etc. You can read the root dir but that's it.. You can't copy things to/from it with dm2k etc.. you have to use it's software. The disk management software is written in extended basic with assembly subroutines. This software is a little buggy/flakey but does the job for copying things into the disk.. There are two versions. the release from myarc and an updated one that's a little easier to use. Greg

I've owned one of these for years. Any questions hit me up. Greg

nope.. because the only real issue is that the ROM on the console skips the cartridge port when looking for rom based software. The "simulation" is just a menu loading files from disk

no its an actual atari 2600 joystick.. uno button

nevermind its working now will try and reproduce the issue but it may have just been my setup.. I double checked connections after the issue which may have been the issue

working from EA load will try again in xb

I just downloaded the dsk image, and dsk2pc'd it to the TI and ran from xbasic.. will try from EA Greg

number 5 is the cut trace, if you haven't got a jumper or switch wired here, that is your issue.. you need one if you are going to use interrupt driven software like say.. term programs You see on mine (above picture) the wires coming up from there and a toggle switch out the back so you can turn it on and off. If you have interrupts enabled and your DSR is corrupt or empty then the TI won't boot. If you just cut the trace and not put in a switch or jumper then it will always boot, and always not work with term programs Greg

cant shoot on the v1.0 on real hw Greg

have you re-enabled interrupts? the switch/jumper on my boards Greg

That's my spare pbox i use for testing hdx cards, I unplug the nanopeb and stick that in my f18a console to test.. and a spare console you'll note the shrine in my photo above and to the left blown up here:

I might have it.. but the disks to go through are numerous so give me time

Bad caps could also be the issue. . They tend to go bad over time Greg

Damn ok you win I have an 040 in the 2k..and 030's in the 1200 and 3k on amibay that's like 10 grand of amigas right there.. So now I really want to buy an ACA500 and try it on my 1k.. Greg

/emulators/pc99/utils/masstr41.dsk /emulators/cartridge_images/rpk/converted/mass_transfer_43.rpk I'll see what ver I have on disk and stick it up there under /communications sometime as well Greg

Unfortunately the 1000 has only a few options for expansion. Most of which are adding a "box' to the right side buss connector that has zorro slots. Then you can add ram or other cards. I owned one at one time with a commodore scsi controller for my first 1000 and ended up selling it all at one point because it didn't work Now you can stick an IDE on the motherboard so who needs that. I believe the 1k has the same pinout as the 500 just upsidedown so perhaps a 500 addon would work like the new ACA500? (now I want to buy one and try it!) http://aminet.net/docs/hard/a1000hacks.lha has a bunch of hax http://aminet.net/docs/hard/2000slot.lha is how to make it a zorro slot Also: http://cortexamigafloppydrive.wordpress.com/ I just ordered one of these to try this hack on my Amiga Greg

I have a 500,1000,1200,2000 and 3000 had a 1000 in 86 .. have the 1200 with 128mb ram/68030 and replaced the hard disk with a cf.. lots of amiga options for the 1000 including a vga 'flicker fixer' here: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/images/indivision-ecs.gif I personally went with a amiga->scart cable and then used a device off ebay to convert scart to hdmi. been doing amiga forever, it was my computer of choice after the TI .. I worked at computerland when I was a teenager and the amiga 1000 and mac 128 came out, and i had to have the amiga Greg
