Centipede?

Hustle?

Munchman? Laying down the chain?

I think it was a great show! If any non-tiers listen to it I think we'll get some more converts. Long live the TI!

Ditto on screws. Man, that looks awesome!

Marc, Here is the .dsk containing the Command Files (CF) MYARC/CC and MYARC/CC2 for use with Advanced Diagnostics. The 1280 disk goes in drive 1 and a formatted 1440 sector disk goes in drive 2. MYARC/CC is set up to load the second CF from drive 3. If you don't have this configuration you'll need to modify to suit your set up. I cobbled this together years ago to transfer some disks from a friend for use on my system. I have not used this for 20+ years but I remember it working just fine. Anyhow - here's hoping it'll get the job done for you. -Ralph... myarc.dsk

Yes I'll need to root around in my disk boxes to find the disk I used. I'll post when I find it.

I put together an advanced diagnostics command file that will copy 1280 to 1440 when all I had was a corcomp controller. Worked pretty well if memory serves me. I pm'd because I have myarc cards now that will do the trick as well.

Don't fear the reaper.... Ah yes, those were the days.

Buy a 1 cent diode and fix that puppy!

+2 if nanopeb cases can be made.

bet it still works though....

Owen Did you clean and lightly lube the stepper rails? I have had problems with that before where the grease on the rails gets old and turns to goo which makes it hard for the stepper to get to where it needs to go on the disk accurately and consistently.

Really? Wow, I could sworn they were by the same outfit. Sorry for the error.

There are actually 3 releases in the "wizard" lineup - I think wizards dominium was the first, followed by lair then revenge. I've got all 3.

Tone control on high

Stardust - The feel is the same as an EPYX 500XJ. The "throw" of the stick is so short that you wouldn't notice any stiffness (I think). Owen - I'm glad you like it.

This device started life as the controller for a FORTRESS power chair (motorized wheel chair). I had been looking for another joystick I could use for my secondary TI-99/4A system. I saw an auction for a lot of 3 of these gizmos on eBay. Looking at them I figured it's gotta have 4 micro switches, right? wrong. When I got the package and disassembled one I found that the control was through 5 coils - one attached to the stick on the gimbal and 4 below it to react to however the damn thing was wired. shit. Ok - I like micro switched joysticks - I had an old EPYX 500XJ joystick that had an intermittent in the cable. I'll take the switch assembly from it and hang it on the FORTRESS somehow. Well, long story short - after much fabrication you see what I ended up with. Always liked the EPYX sticks - short throw and audible feedback. You just barely touch this stick and it responds. It's not done quite yet - but it works like butter. I'm calling this definitely one I built.

I believe that is a multicart. They were offered for sale as a kit back in the old days. I think dox might be on the wht.

That's really cool! Better make a dust cover tho.

How about these little beauties?

Ditto on the wht scsi. I'm very interested as well. Think we should jump?

Ciro You could try: CALL INIT CALL LOAD(-31888,63,255) NEW Then load it to see if it will run.

Hi there Buck. It's great to have another young TI'er in the fold. One of my favorite games on the TI is Entrapment. Brings up a thought - I wonder how many generations of TI'ers we have now?
