The Disk Manager II cartridge works great with the disk controller. Where can I find a copy of the disk manager file for the CorComp disk controller and what is the name of the file?

Hi Vorticon, I have managed to get the disk images onto some disks that the P-System can read and they all seem to be working fine. In looking over the documentation, there is a Utilities manual that discusses some programs that I'm not finding on the "EDT/FLR", "COMPILER" or "ASM/LNK" disk images. Is there another disk with the utilities on them? I'm seeing utilities like "DECODE", "DFORMAT", "LIBRARY", "PATCH" and so forth.

Thanks for the info. I have Disk Manager II cartridge on the way. I'll have to check it out when I get it.

I just picked up a CorComp 9900 Disk Controller card but it didn't come with a manual. Can someone tell me what the different DIP switch setting are? Also, when the system boots up, I see the Disk Manager on the title screen but when I select it, the disk drive turns on for a bit, then stops and after a little while the system beeps. If never enters the Disk Manager utility. I am able to format a disk with a Disk Manager cartridge (it is not the Disk Manager II cartridge) and use the disk but it's only SSSD, not DSDD like the CorComp is supposed to do.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I misunderstood you. Thanks for the clarification. I'll work on getting the disk image transferred to floppies.

Since the disk images that Vorticon uploaded are not functional, is there someone that has the p-system disks that can make copies of them for me? I can supply the necessary floppy disks.

A follow up question. I've downloaded the disk images but how do I actually get them on to a TI formatted 5 1/4 disk? What program do I need in order to copy them over the 5 1/4 disk?

Thanks retroclouds.

Thanks rocky007.

I have looked around for the disk images of p-code software for the p-code card and I have been able to locate any. Are there any disk images for the p-code software available?

I have looked around for the TI-FORTH disk images but I'm not able to fine any. Are there any disk images available for TI-FORTH?

I found that there were a few cold solder joint on the flex cable end that attaches to the console. They have been re-soldered and now the PEB is working the side car memory unit. Thanks to everyone for their ideas and pointers.

Well, it looks like the side car is okay. I got another PEB and everything works with the new PEB. So, I must have an issue with the first PEB that I bought. I'll have to reflow the solder joint on the connecting cable on the first PEB and see if that fixes the issue with one not working with the side car.

Yes, I have download Classic99 and I've been playing around with it. It seem pretty nice but I'd still like to get the real hardware and software working.

matthew180, thanks for the info. I'll go check out the soldering videos. It's been a long time since I've done any soldering, so, I'm sure the videos will be helpful.

A question for matthew180. What kind of solder would you recommend to do the reflowing with?

Thanks everyone. I will have another look at the device and start reflowing the solder joints.

That's what I was starting to think also. I found a copy the PHP 2200 manual and it states the a total of 6 devices can be attached with the speech synth 1st and the memory side care 2nd and then the rest. Not sure it the PEB counts as a single device or not. Guess I'll have to search around for a 32k memory card for the PEB.

Thanks for the suggestions. There is no 32k memory card in the PED. I have also cleaned the contacts on the side car. Where would I locate schematics for the 32k side car? I have also looked at the 32k side car to see if I could locate any cold solder joint, but I haven't seen any yet.

I have the TI PHP 2200 Memory Expansion side car.

Hello all, I'm new this forum. I've been reading through a lot of the post here and this is great stuff. I used to have a silver and black TI-99/4A back in the '80s when I was going to college. I had a PEB with 32K card, an RS232 card, a P-code card and the disk controller card with 1 SSSD drive and DSDD (used n DSSD mode), a speech synth and bunch of software and cartridges. Over the year I got rid of all of the hardware and software (kicking myself now!). So recently I picked up a 99/4A, a PEB with a SSSD drive, RS232 card, a speech synth and 32k side car. I also picked up XB, E/A (complete kit) and a Mini Memory (no cassette, so no Line-by-Line assembler). The console work great! The speech synth works, the PEB works and 32k side car works. However, I'm having an issue with getting the 32k side car and PEB working together. Individually they are working just fine but when I attach both of them to the console at the same time, the console looks up. No spash screen so no way to get to BASIC or XB. When I power on the PEB, the interface card lights up, then when I power on the memory, the interface light on the PEB goes off. When I power up the console, the interface and RS232 card both light up in the PEB and the console is locked. The speech synth works when plugged into the memory side card and the with the memory powered on. What could be the issue with the console, memory side card and PEB not working together? Any ideas on how I could further trouble shoot this issue? Thanks, Gary
