  1.  

    What is different about it? I have a CF7+ and an F18A with no problems.

    Maybe I have a slightly newer model or something but when I told him about some of the issues I was having he said I needed to swap it out for one he made for the f18a. he said it was some kind of timing issues.

    what was happening was when I turned on the TI99 sometimes it would lock up. when I got the 'f18a fixed' one that problem went away.


  2. I got a CF7+ with a printer port. IF you do decide to buy a CF7 or NanoPEB from that guy on ebay who is making them, be sure to tell him if you have a f18a card installed in your TI99. He has to make the card a little different for the f18a.

    Also, be sure to get a power supply and have a good speech module. I had all kinds of problems with my CF7 till I replaced the speech module with one in much better shape.


  3. When I was learning 99 assembler waaaaay back in the day I actually found the line by line assembler rather OK.

    Alright Tursi you convinced me, I'll get it. :grin:

    update:

    ... wouldn't you know it, finally decide to purchase the Mini-Mem after weeks of indecision and the guy is on vacation and not taking orders now. :mad:

    If all the above checks have been tried I,m afraid-

     

    Your cartridge is no more, it's expired and gone to meet it's maker,it's a stiff, bereft of life, it rests in peace, it's metabolic processes are now history, it's off the twig, it's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off it's mortal coil-run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

     

    IT IS AN EX CARTRIDGE!!!!

    LOL!

    for the less cool (and younger) among us, that to which he was referencing.

  5. These are neat little devices. Just be aware most programs will be unable to use them since there is no DSR (device driver code) to manage the device at a low level. You'll be limited to whatever program(s) were written specifically to control the hardware...if any exist.

    My idea was using the joytalk for a serial mouse, which need driver anyway, and terminal program that could be modified.

    Also, not using the power off the video port (I think that looks tacky) but just using and external power supply.
