Ciro, I will need three of these. . .I also registered using the original address, the one that doesn't seem to work right.

Meanwell makes power supplies with quad outputs and various voltages. Get one that outputs +/-15 and +/-9 at the correct amperage levels and you should be good to go without having to change any of the card regulators. . .

What language was it in? I may be able to help decipher it. . .

What does the unregulated voltage show?

This is a wonderful idea!

I have seen the Dow Editor/Assembler. IIRC, it was distributed on tape for the Mini Memory.

Nice game!

Just now, eebuckeye said:I remember these ads back in the day but never realized it was also on cartridge. Wasn't it just a basic game? Did they optimize for the cart release?
It was always an Assembly game--just with different load methods.

The cartridge pictured was manufactured and sold by Navarone (I have one). Tenex sold a lot of them, along with the other game cartridges they released. Later, DataBioTics also released it (they had the rights to do so with Navarone titles after Navarone shut down), but released it under two names: King of the Castle, and Escape! The earliest (and rarest) cartridge release was by Exceltek.

The failure with the 2732s probably had another cause: programming voltage. I'm pretty sure that the TL866-II lost the ability to program 21V chips. For those you would need a TL866CS instead. You do have to be careful even there, as early 2732s require 25V, but most later ones seem to be tolerant of 21V and all 2532As are 21V chips.
On the adapter, I haven't seen any 2732 to 27C128 adapters either. There really hasn't been a need for such, as most of us can program the 2732s.

Am I confused? It looks like the only files in the repository are the license and readme files. . .

I've seen that document before--I may even have one or two of them. Reading it, it looks like a translation of the flyers TI provided their retailers to hand out to customers considering a system purchase. Look carefully at the ArtikelGruppe entry--it looks like it was added later, as it is darker and in a very different font.

I used the GROMCFG to build the Break Free cartridge file as well--so there are at least three of us using it, @Tursi

You could zip it and put it up here, Alan. Then we can get it moved to the other TI repositories (like the WHT FTP site). It is good to see you are still around! I bought one of the early versions of FORTRAN99 (V2.3?) and later upgraded it to the FORTRAN99/9640 FORTRAN issue. I had a lot of fun with it. . .

Typo-II was released by ROMOX. It is a bit uncommon as ROMOX cartridges go, but not especially rare. They come up for sale about once a year on average. A normal ROMOX cartridge (most of their titles) would sell for between 15 and 30 dollars depending on condition, this one would sell for a bit more, probably between 20 and 40, again, based on condition.

Since it has a GROM, you could put it into an UberGROM cartridge to make a standalone cartridge out of it. You would just have to load the data into the appropriate number of the Atmel 1284P GROM slots using a programmer capable of writing to it. That would make a permanent cartridge of the program.

If it will load into the FinalGROM, it will work in an UberGROM, you just have to take the ROM portion and burn it into the 512K flash chip and then properly place the GROM files into the UberGROM. This process creates a complete image that can be copied, as you only need to build the image once. @acadiel has extensive experience creating UberGROM images, and may be willing to help here.
Note, I suspect that the original request was for a means to use the program in ROM-only mode, which isn't an option based on the need for GROM space in addition to ROM space--and in this case, you also don't have the option of lobbing the GROM stuff into the 32K space, as that is actually being used as User space by the program.

It is interesting and odd that the older equipment has higher quality output--but it isn't really surprising. 20 years ago, scanners were in the feature-war mode, so lots of good ideas were tried out. Now they are more commodity items as part of a multi-function printer (and generally of lower output quality). Hopefully, the issue will be resolved soon and your wonderful scans can continue. Many thanks for all you do!

Fabrice, on the chips, you might want to check Rochester Electronics. They are an authorized OEM for a lot of discontinued chips from other manufacturers, making certified replacements using the original chip dies once their supply of NOS chips is exhausted. Their prices are usually good on a per-chip basis, but their minimum quantities for a chip are sometimes very high (1,000+). I have an account with them and order a lot of chips that I haven't been able to find from other sources there (and it is good that they only supply certified original chips).

One could also use something like the somewhat rare Video Controller from TI. It was designed specifically for interactive video functionality. . .and can save programs, data, and video on the tape or laser disk.

8 hours ago, retroclouds said:Yeah, a box would be mighty cool!
Guess that would make it the first new cartridge in a complete package.
Unfortunately it makes things more expensive and probably not easy to design and source.
Actually, the second new boxed cartridge, as Dragon's Lair also had a box (and the Mr. Chin disk did too).

Shift 838 (*#*) is pretty much the standard TI cheat code. . .

There are some issues here: the console power-up routines only recognize a limited number of GROM bases, and each GROM base is "technically" limited to five GROM chips (GROMs 0, 1, and 2 are in the console and are generally excluded, but may be used, as seen with applications for the GRAM Kracker, GRAMulator, HSGPL, and MaxiMem). The UberGROM board allows you to set up 15 GROMs (and 1 GRAM space), using multiple GROM bases of your choice. Similar multiple GROM-base solutions were also used BITD: the OPA POP Cart, the Guion-modified Triton Super Extended Basic cartridge, and at least one German multicart board. Note that even more devices emulate the 5-chip cartridge GROM space of a single GROM base (Wiesbaden Supermodul and Supermodul-2, TCB Modul, Karlsruhe Modul, Errorfree Modul, FinalGROM, TI EGROM cartridges, and others). So it has been done to some extent, just not at all matching your use case. The HSGPL card is probably closest, as it fills a 512K space with GROM data and switches context from module to module from a master menu.

Original TI Source Code
in TI-99/4A Development
Posted
Source code for the BASIC Support Module, the 99/8, and several other utilities are also out there. Source for a few third-party items are also available, like the entire set of source code for the Myarc Geneve and the Personality Card.
