[WTB: 32k Memory Card for TI 99/4a PEB]

Wanting to buy a 32k memory card for the TI 99/4a PEB. Prefer TI brand, but any brand will do.

[WTB: TI 99/4a PEB Disk Drive and Controller Card]

Just purchased an empty PEB and want to find a disk drive and disk drive controller card for it. Also looking for a 32K Memory card.

Hope this photo helps show you how I have the TI hooked up (the white coaxial cable). The black cables are connected to my Atari 130XE.

Here's my humble TI 99/4a setup, combined with my Atari 130XE on the same monitor, at the latest meeting of the Atlanta Historical Computing Society last week.

Thanks, Kyle22 and Bryan...you're right. Just bought a white brick power supply off of eBay and that cleared the problem right up. You guys are great!

[Video Signal Is Going Out On My 130XE]

The video signal on my 130XE is apparently degrading. There is a distinct horizontal "bar," which takes up about a third of the screen vertically, that scrolls slowly up the screen distorting both the image and the color. I get the same problem with using a cartridge, booting to Basic, or loading from my floppy drive. I've switched the original composite cable with an S-video cable...same problem. It's not the monitor because my TI 99/4a looks just fine on it. I suspect that either the chroma or luma components are degrading, but I don't know for sure. Anyone got any troubleshooting tips or, better yet, solutions? I fear that I will end up trying to find a reasonably priced 130XE on eBay to replace it, but that's not my first choice. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

[Games you didn't expect much from... then they won you over]

Turmoil: I don't recall this game at all back in the day, but I heard a few solid reviews about it just last year, so I picked up a cheap loose cart on eBay. It's a really fun, fast-paced game with colorful graphics and great sound. I love it.

[whats your rarest 2600 game you have?]

I'd prefer not to say how much I sold it for; business transaction between the buyer and myself. All I'll say is that I think we were both happy with the price.

I had Pepsi Invaders in my collection for literally years without knowing what I had. After discovering it, I sold it last September to a very nice local Atari enthusiast.

I'm withdrawing my request to be included on the registry. I sold the cartridge to a fellow collector today.

[Which System did you OWN and use.]

Bought TI 99/4A in 1983 when they were basically $50 after rebate. Gave it away about 15 years later, along with the carts. Have since replaced it a few years back with one in good condition I found on eBay, along with three of my favorite carts CIB (Parsec, Blasto and MunchMan).

 

In late 1980s bought an Atari 800XL used from my friend. Gave it away ten years or so later. Replaced it about 10 years ago with an Atari 130XE (plus 1050 drive) bought cheap at a church yard sale, along with 6 carts, including my favorite, Qix. Amazingly, though, I still have scores of program floppies from when I owned the 800XL, most of them still working.

 

Finally, I still have my 4-switch Atari 2600 given to me by my friend about 20 years ago, along with over 40 carts, most of them still working. Play with it pretty often. Can you guess what my favorite 2600 game is?

Thanks, BennyBingo!

As I remember it, I bought this cart (in a box of about 10 cartridges) for about $5 at a flea market just north of Atlanta about 15 years ago. Although I played it once after buying it, I never thought about it again until this past week when I decided to pull out my collection of 2600 games (about 40 or so) and play with them. Needless to say I was floored to see how rare the cart is. Thanks to this wonderful website and some videos on YouTube, I was able to confirm that what I have is an original cartridge and not a later repro. Amazing, huh?

Is this registry still being maintained? If so, I have an original Pepsi Invaders cart. How do I get listed on the Registry?
