Just replacing FW didn't work, the files were a different size or something. What I did change though does work with the CF7. Not to drive you crazier, I was playing with TML 2.0 on classic99 and in the manual you have the command CALL LINK ("BITMAP") put it doesn't work. did you take out that command in later version?

Very good job, except, the version of Funnel Web you use in the compiler isn't CF7+ compatible. There is a modified version of Funnel Web for the CF7+ that I put on the .zip below. I also modified your LOAD file to call it. I don't think it transfers the file name right but the Assembler does now work with the CF7+. I'm sure you can modify it right very easily, it's a bit over my head right now. CMPLR256C.zip

I messed with it in PC99. It didn't seem to be much of an improvement over other exBASICs.

Good job!

creating a switch to change Joystick 1 to 2 and visa-versa would involve just making a switch for pin 2 to 7. 2 is ground for joystick A and 7 is ground for joystick B. As for using a serial port check out mainbytes reprint of 'Joy talk is cheap'. I have considered creating this device for myself to give me a serial port. Only change I would make would pins 1 and 6 of the joystick (which are unused) the 12 volt power for the device. That is, after I make sure none of my TI-99 compatible joystick currently use those port.

If you use only one joystick wouldn't it be a simple case of setting Joystick 2 up/down/left/right as A/B/C/D with other button as E ? I would think any old Nintendo Joystick could be re-wired with out creating an interface.

I a newbie when it comes to hardware. Is this what you all are talking about being a prototype board (except it's Apple). http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Apple-II-II-PLUS-IIe-Platinum-IIgs-DEV-PROTO-board-Atmel-Microchip-Arduino-/111347357088?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19ecd1d5a0

Who are these people who buy things like $700 for a 99/8 motherboard without the chips?

I was looking at the other stuff, for other computers, this guy has listed and most of it is rather ridiculously priced. Does he really believe he is going to get these kind of prices?

$999.99 for Topper cartridge. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Topper-Romox-TI-99-4A-computer-game-Texas-Instruments-TI99-/360931923444?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item54093815f4 He also has another WAY over priced. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sealed-Hen-Pecked-TI99-4A-Romox-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-computer-game-Henpecked-/111351335306?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item19ed0e898a Is it me or does there seem to be more nuts out there, recently, who think they are going to make a killing selling old TI-99 stuff.

Cartridge holder to TI-99. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Game-Cartridge-Storage-Box-Container-For-TI-99A-Atari-Etc-/171324987003?pt=US_Video_Game_Cases_Bags&hash=item27e3c3d67b Actually, it's just a cassette tape holder. I had one of these back in the day and it worked fairly well holding TI cartridges IF you put the cartridge in every other slot. As for Atari cartridges like the guy claims, The Atari 800 cartridges be too small and the 2600 too big. Maybe the 5200?

Actually tried some ideas recently but the CF7+ is too big, in it's current form, to fit in the synthesizer.The IDE to CF is just a few mm too big the fit under the door of the synthesizer.

99/8 prototype for sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ti-99-8-prototype-Computer-motherboard-Texas-Instruments-not-ti-99-ti99-4a-/251526472391?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a902562c7 Any predictions on ending price? I say $1200.00

Man, some people are so low.

I don't have the room for a PEB now (using CF7+) but interested in HDX along with any other 'advanced cards' while I can still get them.

Anybody want 180 old used calculators for just $5,500.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Calculator-Collection-180-Calcs-LED-/251305469894?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3a82f927c6 Somebody was realllly excessive compulsive when it came to have a calculator handy.

Mint, in box, never opened TI 99/4a. Where do these people get these things? http://www.ebay.com/itm/251524310729?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Well, the guy that created the CF7+ is very helpful but I doubt he will release his code. I'm sure people smarter than me could figure it out. I on the other hand found your XB Game Developers Package does more of what I want anyway and you seemed to got that working with the CF7+. So I will just shift to that. Thanks.

looks like the Atari 822 uses 4.5" wide paper. the TI uses a more non-standard 3.5"

they had to know what a TI-99 was as an inside joke.

Put a bid on the printer but searched the web and found no place that sales 3 1/2" thermal paper like the printer uses. Anybody got a source?

Here is the results. Nothing will load after CALL LINK("MOVHDR") I get ERROR 2 if I try to load anything. but, memory size is: 24488 & 4168 result of CHKVDP is PASS

I'll work on it this evening

Tested OK on my CF7. Run old XB256 and the 256DEMO won't load but locks up the computer. Run your XB256CF7 and the 256DEMO loads and runs fine.

Ti-99 thermal printer. I wonder if it's possible to even get paper for it anymore? http://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-4a-Solid-state-thermal-printer-/321394120853?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad4951895
