    yes, feel free to go forward (commit) some proposal structure.

    Let's really aim for having it all in a git account in dedicated repositories. First step done. https://github.com/kl9900/TMS9900Family

    Wow. Simply wow. After many attempts Piero had success in reading out the operating system disks that I send to him. It is in KryoFlux DiskSystem Format and can not directly be used yet on the machine. So far the disk format (DSDD, 1.153.152 bytes, 288 bytes per sector) is not supported by the Gotek system and Piero has some write issue on his FD1000 that blocks him from creating an actual duplicate disk. But he is on both, getting the Gotek Authors to support this Disk Format (next to the already supported FD800 SSSD 256.256 bytes Format). I am on writing a Windows based tool to analyze the Disk Images. See fd800-tifilelist.txt to see which files on FD800 images it already identified. But you can use a Gotek Device already to boot your DS990/1 with FD800 disk images. From 15th August (home vacation) I will also work on my DS990/1 system to get it finally running.

    the seller is from Austria (Europe), not Australia. Even though that person is from my home country I don't know him.

    This is another spectactular preservation. Thank you so much! I wonder what is the best way to compare all these docs with existing sourcecode, be it in scanned or in digital format. For any digital files like the ones from RXB for Extended Basic we could make a "print out" and imitate in that the font and spacing in it to have a SDSMAC like format. TIcode99 could be of help to recalculate any missing addresses. Any difference should then be easily spotted, we could even think of some automatic png comparer if we get the formatting exact. There is a Product359 Design Spec pdf within The Cyc by C.a.d.d. Electronics. But again, this actual printed source can be used to find errors or missing parts in it. So big thanks for this!

    the TI-990 is using "/" as Seperator for the File Extension in its CATALOG programs. With the option of not having a File Extension as well. examples: TXLIB/OBJ TXLINK/SYS TXLOBJ/LIB WUMPUS

    very nice progress Ralph!

    thank you very much for preserving this for the community!

    Piero was as curious. There seems to be no official labels among the 12 disks that the unit came with. They are for the FD1000. Piero managed to replace the whole FD1000 by a Gotek drive and a special adapter he created. So you might be getting some use for your DS990/1 once we had success with the dumps. Here come all the disk labels.

    If you really have two versions, then it could match Extended Basic 1.0 and 1.1. These are awesome historical artifacts to preserve. Wow, you impress me.

    Hi Casey, a few years back i was adding some feature to Web99 (windows TI-99 tool) to decode some modules back to their original TI Basic Source code. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/246757-decoding-basic-source-code-from-cartridge-binaries/ That feature is everything but user friendly nor flexible, it requires the module to be in an expected format. It was more of a challenge whether I can do achieve to decode it somehow. But back then I checked the whole PHM library and the thread basically has all the decoded TI Basic Programs to download. I would feel a bit cheated if I paid that much for a module which is in the end nothing but a TI Basic program. I have to agree Casey, the concept to have an option for the community to create a GROM module is tempting.

    The pages of the scan from Ksarul seems in wrong order but they looked complete to me. In your version every 2nd page was an empty one, therefore the number of pages is exceeding the ones from Ksarul. The Product 359 is Extended Basic and it would be of great value to verify this against what RXB typed in once from a book he bought against completeness and errors or missing comments. Piero Andreini is currently helping me dumping all 12 of my 8" disks for the DS990/1 which is a very small mini computer for a proper preservation. He is definately up for also getting your disks preserved.

    Preserved by Ksarul. Software-Development-System-Programmers-Guide-1979-11-06-Reduced.pdf GPL-Debugger-Operation-Guide-1979-11-15-Reduced.pdf

    Hi Tony, That sounds awesome to work in this technology and get paid. Do you still have access to any software for a 990 or that 99000 bases system? We are trying to preserve docs and software before it gets lost l. Thanks a lot
  16. kl99
    Definately not. 99/2 TI Basic was developed outside of TI at a contracted university, and is kept GPL free, also explaining its speed advantages. 99/8 always had the compatibality with 99/4 software in mind, which restricted the engineers quite a bit. Next to these there is also a not so explorerd Tomy Tutor Basic which runs without any Grom chips.

    Wow, this might reveal as amazing stuff. jbdigriz. At least this example document was already published (another scan) on atariage.com by Ksarul. "Home Computer Software Development System Programmer's Guide, Revised 6 November 1979, Personal Computer Division" Ksarul also scanned this referred document: "Graphics Programming Language Debugger Operation Guide, Original issue 15 November 1979, Personal Computer Division". If Ksarul is fine, i can post the pdfs here. The Graphics Programming Language Programmer's Guide is more known and a common document in the community. Anything in this direction is awesome! Especially if we finally find the actual described software. If you give us the document title of other stuff we can tell you right away if it is already preserved.

    I have one 99/8, so one is in Austria. Jens-Eike has one in Germany. Michael Becker (Germany) might still have his 99/8. Ciro is the one 99/8 from Italy. Fabrice Montupet (France) has a 99/8 (or at least it is covered on his homepage ti99.com) with Advanced Home Computer on the title screen and TI Basic (must be Armadillo Basic) in the selection screen... http://www.ti99.com/ti/index.php?article24/computer-99-8 Regardings Documents, this is the list I have on my website: http://www.ti99.eu/?page_id=2742&lang=en 99/8 System Source code: http://ftp.whtech.com/source/

    thanks for this Ksarul.

    I think The Cyc features the 99/4A source code of the Hex Bus Interface Php1300 in the Vendors/TI/internals

    This is big and impressive Rasmus! Keep the updates coming!
