Omega-TI

I'm wondering who will post the best Extended BASIC or E/A 5 New Years program..... Never mind....

This Ebay seller appears to think that I have no ethics. He wants to BUY positive feedback. Sorry dude, I'll not be party to misleading other Ebay shoppers. I always doubted the validity of the feedback system, but if this crap is allowed to go on, it's obviously MEANINGLESS.

** EPILEPTICS VIEW AT OWN RISK **

Not bad for a kid.

Cool!!! If it's in an image I can slap into a 49F040 I'll be happy as a clam.

Damn, I'm amazed at what you guys can do with one line of code, this one really impressed me.

Sadly I may never get a chance to play your new ones then. I don't have TurboForth, and I cannot keep up with all the changes over time that happen to fbForth. Since getting fbForth I'm partially aware of some updates, but have not had time to do anything about them, so I get further and further out-of-date. It looks like a fun game, sorry I'm going to miss out on this one.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Sorry, does not compute.

You can always try DOSBOX and sloooooooow things down... a whole bunch!

Recently that 'Floppy Day's' podcast theme had been rolling around in my brain like a major meme-Infection, it got so bad that I had to make an MP3 of it, just to make it go away. If you've had the same problem... Floppy Days.mp3

Here's mine, short and simple... 1 CALL CLEAR :: CALL SCREEN(10) :: DISPLAY AT(A,A):"ti99.atariage.com" :: A=A+7.77 :: CALL SOUND(-10,110,1) :: GOTO 1

I can delay for about a month as I'd like to use this board too. I can always use the original method as a fallback plan.

These would nice in the TI-99 photos thread...

I believe it was on your good advice that I bought one of those... I can confirm/second your results. I never had a failure since I started using it with my MiniPro.

I was thinking about socketing the EPROM as well, but since I had no idea how big is the case was, I had no clue if it would still fit. I'm sure happy you gambled and got those little 49F040's in that 'lucky accident' . I love the re-write characteristics of those little buggers and the price too! It's one of the many reasons I decided on the UberCART being my 'one and only' cartridge format.

I have a NEW 3D printing need... I need a couple of TI cartridge holders. Each one cannot be more than 6" tall, but should hold 6 cartridges. I figure with material on the sides they would probably be about 4.5" wide. Black in color would be the best color. I imagine a few people here could use something like this too, especially with all the cool new cartridges that have been coming out lately. Who would have ever figured we'd someday come full-circle and be back to cartridges.

Oooooo.... PHOTOS PLEASE!

Ksarul will have to answer this question for you. I don't have access to a Myarc FDC or the schematics to check. He could probably tell you in 2 seconds flat without any research.

There appears to be a group of people forming out there who don't like all the new technology (while they use it). Anyway while I'm not as rabid as some << IN THIS ARTICLE >>, it makes me wonder if we should tell her about Stuart's Browser... Then there *WAS* this guy, who 'apparently' was killed because of his cellphone use. << ARTICLE HERE >> Keep your heads up TI'ers!

Well, that looks like a fairly obsolete chip there. Before you can reprogram it appears you'll need to stick it under a UV lamp. I'm wondering if there is a substitute modern EEPROM you could replace the chip with. Do you have enough of these cartridges to make it worthwhile/viable? Looks pretty cool though...

Back then most of my stuff was still DOS. I only ran Windows 3.11 as selection "W" under Direct Access when I wanted to use my WYSIWYG word processor... which was rare as I still preferred the faster Prowrite even though I could not embed all the fancy graphics. With the amount of RAM I was running at the time, Windows was just too slow.

Your Classic Computer did not spy on you or record every component or device you've plugged into it in the last 90 days.

Yes, there are all kinds in this world, some only see Atari Age and it's users as a 'market to be exploited', some of these users stay around making money off of Atari Age and it's users... and never subscribe. Some blast onto the scene, ask 100 questions then try to sell all their stuff and then disappear never to be heard from again. Fortunately those two groups are not the majority. Then there are the Guru's & Gods, and programmers, the ones who are all knowing, the ones who take the time to help out the Newbies and lead them to the path of enlightenment for nothing more than a mere "thank you". I have the utmost respect and admiration for these kind souls. There are others who only APPEAR to make a profit... some of these guys have devoted untold hours, days, weeks, months and yes, even years, coming up with, designing, building, and then troubleshooting their modern hardware items. They will NEVER get compensation for even a fraction of their time back. Getting PCB's made and shipped to them is not free, buying all the components and paying for the shipping is not free, taking the time to assemble these project boards, cartridges or whatever takes time and effort and then shipping them to others is not free either. The shipping expenses at every phase of these projects has to be accounted for. I know some people think they should be able to get a totally assembled modern cartridge for only $20.00, but hey, no one is going to sell at a loss, they have to at least break even. It's a hobby, not a charity. I don't know about others, but I'm sure as hell not going to begrudge some poor slob a few bucks for all his hard effort. Some realize no matter how hard they try, they cannot please everyone, some eventually give up... because of some malcontents, the negative whiners always complaining about the prices. Listen, I'm a cheap bastard by nature, I'm always looking for the best deal, but seriously, don't bitch and whine about prices, you may be slitting your own throat when it comes to future goodies if you drive away the VERY FEW that can make this stuff. (For the record, I have bitched about Ebay prices on used stuff, but that's a different subject.) This is not China, this stuff is not massed produced, there is much more overhead involved for a hobbyist than for a major overseas manufacturer. The purchasing differential between wholesale and retail alone also adds to the final equation. My hobby computer is 32+ years old, it has cost me more than my newest state-of-the-art computer, it will continue to cost me money, all hobbies do.

I finally downloaded it when others were not, it sure sped things up! I'll try to find sometime Thursday to try this program... I want to clean up my HD a little first, because I have like four different versions of Classic 99 on there and a bunch of other obsolete stuff. Quite frankly my TI stuff on the HD resembles the junk drawer in my shop.... a total mess!

I cannot come up with a favorite. It's 50%-50% between the Atari 5200 & the TI-99/4A in my book...
