isn't 4DOS fairly simular?

Currently space is my problem not using PEB. Also the simplicity of moving files to and from the CF7 to my PC where I do most of my development. If I did have the space I guess the way to go would be a PEB with HDX

I agree. I have started liking RXB as of recent but not too fond of the start menu.

The guy who creates the CF7+ lives in Ft. Worth somewhere about 30 miles west. Wish we could get him on Atariage.

Old tech off topic. Dot matrix printer playing Bach. Fairly amazing. http://youtu.be/pX4tBIwhOqY

Looks like it works on my Windows 7 machine.

Totally impractical, but looks like be a fun project. RasberryPi cell phone. http://youtu.be/8eaiNsFhtI8

Looks like he just cut holes over the power supply for extra cooling. Probably not a bad idea.

Actually tested it with formatting in TI-Dir. that looked like it went OK. But when you tried writing to the card in TI-Dir it would error most of the time. Didn't matter what kind of SD card or if I tried it with the card in the CF adapter or not. also tried different speed SD cards and different sizes. As for installing the card adapter in the CF7+ all I ever got was a blue screen. pity. After several attempts today I just returned the adapter to Frys.

Just FYI, Can't find this but someone recent ask if anyone has tired using a SD to CF card adapter in a CF7+ like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SDXCF-B-SDHC-SDXC-to-CF-Type-II-Adapter-Reader-for-8-16-32-64-128-GB-SD-eye-fi-/371072673524?pt=US_Memory_Card_Readers_Adapters&hash=item5665a7a6f4 Well, I tried it today and it don't work for me. got all kinds of errors and blue screen using the adapter with the CF7+. tried various SD cards to be sure and none worked.

Yah, by the time I saw it they were already gone.

actually the comment was a bit self serving. there are bits a pieces I would like but not the whole thing. Like I have always been fascinated with the C128 ever since I sold them while working at Sears in college. Never owned one but maybe one day....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=141301186107 He cut the price to $400.00 but still local pick up. He should just break it up and sell it piece by piece, make more money.

envy.

that is exactly what i'm doing. should figured great minds would go ahead of me.

Is there a 80 column version for the f18a? And while I'm on the subject of multiplan, is there a copy that doesn't require the cartridge?

Wow! this must be a version of Alpiner I've never seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALPINER-TI-99-4A-Texas-Instruments-Computer-Game-Cart-w-MANUAL-/141300031848?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20e6236168

Only thing makes you worthy here: 1.) You own a Ti-99/4a (or any in it's family of computers) or and emulator of said computer(s) or have and interest there of. 2.) You occasionally use it for whatever purpose you see fit. 3.) You enjoy conversing with others who also have and do 1.) and 2.) 4.) You keep a good attitude because it's just a hobby.

I would like to 'get my feet wet' with the Uber or 512k cart. I'm still learning a lot of the hardware tech (I'm a software guy with just some experience in hardware) what would I need to utilize either board? Do I need a ROM burner and what about the GROM.

I thought it was odd that the speaker fit a bit too well and the plastic was curved to accommodate it. Now if I can find a good amplifier board that will fit I'll be good to go. Very impressive list Ksarul. If you make more than one of UberGROM or 512k cart, consider me a buyer. Actually my really, really long term project is I want to learn how to make cartridges. Whole process, from having the board cut to programming the ROM/GROM.

In another topic OLD CS1 mentioned he had some long term projects in mind which got me thinking that might be an interesting subject for a new topic. SO, what long term projects do you have in mind and how long do you think it might take you. Me first. About 6 months ago I got started on a TI99 version of the Atari classic 'Mule'. Well, I changed jobs, then my wife got a job offer to Dallas, Texas. We moved etc... etc... who cares. Anyway, now I have time to get back to it. I going to use Senior Falcon XBC256CF which solves almost all my previous problems; fast loading of screens, scrolling, streaming music. Think it might take me a few months. My hardware project I have started on is installing a speaker and amplifier in the TI99. Since the F18a disables the video the only need for the video cable is for sound. I created a bracket to mount the speaker (just behind the cartridge port) and tested putting a small amp below the motherboard. Unfortunately, I shorted out the amp I scavenged from a old MP player so back to square one. This is a, when I feel like messing with it, project so who knows. What you got in the works or just thinking about.

works with my CF7. thanks.

A little bit of everything from the 8-bit era. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Classic-Computer-Video-Game-Console-Lot-Atari-2600-400-800-Commodore-64-/141295113623?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item20e5d85597

what does it do?

Thanks, I must have did a NEW before I test it is why they came up with errors. Still learning the ins and outs of A/L on the TI99. I will read the docs on HMLOADER, sounds interesting.
