Probably because all I had was a copy and not an original and wasn't sure if it was complete. I have also uploaded the version with original covers that I mentioned in my previous message. It's the same as content002.pdf, but with an 'original' cover and better resolution. I'm pretty sure this is complete because I would have scanned any other pages that were between the covers had they been present. However, time and memory prohibit me from stating more than that. :-) Perhaps Jim will find his copy and remove any doubts.. :-) proto-card-misc.pdf

Sorry, somewhat massive in size.. Sorry, not sure this is complete since it was done from a copy. I've also added a couple PDFs that I just have labeled content00x.pdf. Not sure if they were part of the copied manual or from other sources. I do have some photo scans from another source that seem to be part of the original covers and manual, but without an index.. who know. I will upload those once I've converted to pdf.

Talked with him today. He's doing fine. Still working on The CYC and playing with a some 99/4A hardware addons he received.

Also, while you're learning you might want to jump over to http://www.hexbus.com/tibooks/ and download a couple of the Assembly Language related books to supplement the manual.

If you dug deep enough into WHTech then you likely found all of the stuff I uploaded years ago. https://ftp.whtech.com/emulators/pc99/pc99 dsk collection/

Just a quick off topic ad here. The CYC is continually updated and still available through CaDD Electronics. Their web site is a bit of a mess to purchase from, but if you're interested them PM me your contact email and I will forward it to Mike Wright. Ernie Now.. back to the show.. 😉

Another add-on to an old thread. Using DOSBox, TI99-PC will run and transfer an IMG file to a PC99 or V9T9 dsk, etc. However, I don't have a floppy drive or TI-99/4A native disks to test it's most important option. That of creating a PC99/V9T9 disk from a 'real' TI disk.

There may be easier or better ways today, but I used SYSTEX in the past. Barry Travers had a program in his Genial TRAVler series titled XXB that I think did much the same. Both are readily available on WHTECH and possibly within this forum.

I figured that much. Such a shame.. Bruce did some good stuff. Some of which, I think he documented in his MICROpendium articles. Though I could be wrong.. 🙂

Tim may have Mike's version of MIDI Master, but as for the Harrison revisions?

Not sure if it will work for you phone, but Windows 10 has a "Phone Link" app that i use. It should be available in the Microsoft Store.. BTW, your laptop needs to have bluetooth.

ftp.whtech.com\emulators\pc99\pc99 disk collection\TISoftwareLibrary, but to answer your question it's in the group of files I uploaded to WHTECH several years ago. The folder contains both text and excel files with both the pc and ti disk and file names.

Possibly TUTOR_B.DSK?

For some of us FB is the only way we'll ever see photos of our grandchildren. 😁

Other than Ciro's site, https://www.ti99iuc.it/web/ the other best option might be the Internet Archive. I think Jon passed copies of all the materials I scanned onto them.

Serial Mouse via serial port. To use it something, like the Horizon Mouse software package which Mike Maksimik created. I think the later version of TI-Artist also had mouse support. The problem is that there is almost no TI-99/4A programs that have mouse support, so you would have to create your own.

Charlietunaz, The original scans were done as unedited searchable PDFs with the hope that other TIer's would recreate the programs then add the disk to the library. Ciro, Carlos Santiago and you are three that I know of who have done so, but there may be others. Thank you. You can find the full library at Ciro's www.ti99iuc.it.

CADD is still around, but Eric has the keys to the kingdom so to speak with regards to the domain and website. As such Mike is unable to resolve the issue. Until Eric decides to deal with it the website is essentially dead. Both Dan and I can forward your emails to Mike if you wish.

Not sure if this is still available or how legit, but just saw it on FB Marketplace; https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/934193867464954/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Abf1575df-09d0-473e-93e4-70a512d95327

Thanks All.. I'll do some more digging. Just have to find the correct topic names.. Have a few other questions, but the code should be helpful in answering them. Happy computing..

I want to write a EA5 program loader in Assembly and hoping for a bit of guidance. While I could leverage code from another application, I would prefer writing from scratch, so I fully understand the process. I also don't want to rely on the internal EA loader so as to keep access to all of low memory. It's not all that hard to read the program header, push it into memory, read the next program header, push it into memory, etc, then point the program counter the starting address of the program, but then what next? So, if anyone is aware of any articles or sources that I could refer to I would appreciate it. Thanks, Ernie

Windows 7 shows my local copy as size on disk of 733MB compressed and 3.40GB uncompressed. The files on WHT are compressed. Ernie

Wrap up. Shortly after initial compressing and upload I moved some folders around (exp: 88PGMCON, 90PGMCON, etc.) to related folders. I also moved all of the user group folders (SW99ER, CTIUG, etc.) into the UserGroups. There were others as well. This created a situation where the folder would uncompress in the old location, rather than the one listed in the !XXXX-FILES.TXT listing. That has been mostly fixed with a refresh of the data. There may still be a few that end up in the wrong spot. If you run into one, then let me know and I'll fix it. All directories now contain a !XXXX-FILES.TXT file which lists the dsk files, their TI diskname and a catalog of the files on the disk. This won't necessarily give you the program name, but the TI disk or filename might aid. Three files, two text and one Excel, have been uploaded to the root. They should be self-explanatory. The Excel file is very useful for sorting by TI filename, etc. That should about wrap it up. In total there are 11,682 dsk files with 187,331 individual files in the collection (give or take a few). That's not all 12K, but I left out the duplicates, plus the bad ones I could find and those I transfered for Jon Guidry, which are already posted in JonG. Hoewever the collection does contain the MICROpendium, CIS, Cedar Valley UG, CTIUG, plus others which I had previously uploaded to the WHT. Ernie

I am slowly... adding text files to each directory which contain a list of the dsk filenames and their corresponding TI Filename and a catalog of the files on each disk. Look in each directory for a txt files titled !XXXX-FILES.TXT, where XXXX is the directory name. Hopefully, I will have all directories done within the next week. If not, then, they are coming. While this doesn't solve the issue of what program is on a disk, it might aid in your search. Remember, that once uncompressed the contents of the .dsk files can be viewd with Michael's TI Imagetool, or Fred's TI99Dir. Ernie

I promised an update, so here it is. I have created a directory on WHT under emulators/pc99 titled "pc99 dsk collection". As a result the pergrem.com/tidisks web page will go away. Plans are to incldue a readme file in each main subdirectory that contains a list of the TI disknames and contents of each file. That's not going to happen immediately, but I will be uploading the zip files over the next few days/weeks. I have not done any comprehensive testing, so if you run into issues please let me know and I will correct them. Thanks, Ernie
