Bummer. Coincides with the Belmont at Saratoga. An in-person TI-99 event is definitely on my to-do list in the coming year or so. Try not to get too much barbeque sauce in the keyboards!

You have failed me for the last time, Admiral

Back again for the 3rd year running this model. 49ers are getting 9.00 points of proposition value above their line of -2. Chiefs are getting 2.40 points of proposition value above their line of +2. TI BASIC says bet the 49ers! SUPERBOWL2024.txt

Oh wow! That’s perfect, I’ll find it on your site.

Haha. Sure, since I asked, id be happy to take on the project of building some kits. Could someone share a capacitor BOM for a no-QI TI99/4a?

Any interest in selling a bag of capacitors to recap a 99/4A (main board and power supply) Having populated a SAMS card myself, I’m left with a bunch of extra components as a result of minimum buy quantities. Just a thought. Perhaps variations in the 99/4A design (QI, etc.) wouldn’t make the juice worth the squeeze.

NEWLINE99 made some very high quality YouTube videos on ASSM Introduction/Fundamentals and Integer/Floating Point. I'm hoping he gets back into the hobby and continues the series.

IDE card received, installed and working great. Super build quality. Thanks again!!

Thanks @TheBF!! Looking forward to trying this out over the holidays. Appreciate it

I've been building my physical book library as items pop-up on eBay. Here is a great resource for a lot of the legacy books: https://www.jupiter-ace.co.uk/index_forth_books.html

Great idea! Please post some pics when you get a chance to apply it.

I've just started learning FORTH this year and could be wrong, but it seems like using S" TYPE gives more flexibility than ." and so I'm trying to get into the habit of "always" using it for strings. For example: : test S" Hello World!" ; test 2DUP TYPE TYPE btw, In my top post, I neglected to thank @Willsy and @Lee Stewart for their fantastic FORTH products and, more importantly, taking the time to document and teach those that follow.

My favorite Christmas movie is Trading Places and I love the 80s tech in the movie. Using this picture of the Telerate monitors that were in the back of the Duke's limo and in Eddie Murphy/Dan Akroyd's office for inspiration, I put together a holiday program in Turboforth 40 column mode. I'll attach the code. To run in Classic99, just copy the text and paste in TF after selecting option 2. Happy Holidays!! Trading Places.txt IMG_2141.mov

It looks like a lie detector test for fishermen. How big was the catch? Liar!!!

Ordered, thanks!

THANK YOU! I'm so happy I ran across this. I was just about to start from scratch on inverse characters in TF. Saves me hours!!

I was just browsing eBay and looking at the Jupiter Ace's and their $1500 asking price (on average). Thought back to this project. Perhaps a "TI-99/4ACE" that boots to Forth instead of BASIC could be a reality someday?

That was it! Thank you, Bob @atrax27407

Question about Classic 99 emulation of TurboForth for @Tursi and/or @Willsy. When I create a 80K BLOCKS file on DSK1, I can go into 1 EDIT and the 1st Block displays fine. However, every subsequent block edit appears with the character field all in white (pics below). Any way to get 2 EDIT to display the same as 1 EDIT? thanks! Note: Other than MKBLK, FLUSH, COLD and EDIT, I haven't used any other words of note to display the pics below.

The proposed dates in early April might work for me this year for VCF East. Just curious if any of the 99ers on here go to this one? https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-east/

I’ve already got two DSK solutions in my PEB (TIPI and Corcomp DSDD running real iron 5 1/4). Could I throw this into the mix in the same box??

It has been over 6 years since you asked....and my TI LOGO II code has finally finished running (ok, ok, it only felt like 6 years): //DEFINE PROCEDURES FOR EACH SIDE OF SCREEN TO TOP :NUM IF :NUM = 116 THEN STOP SX :NUM TOP :NUM + 1 END TO RGT :NUM IF :NUM = -81 THEN STOP SY :NUM RGT :NUM - 1 END TO BTM :NUM IF :NUM = -128 THEN STOP SX :NUM BTM :NUM - 1 END TO LFT :NUM IF :NUM = 96 THEN STOP SY :NUM LFT :NUM + 1 END //USE GRAPHICS EDITOR TO CREATE 16X16 ASTERISK MAKESHAPE 6 //INITIALIZE SPRITE IN UPPER LEFT CORNER OF SCREEN TELL SPRITE CARRY 6 SC :BLACK SXY -128 96 //CLEAR SCREEN AND LOOP 100 TIMES CS REPEAT 100 [TOP -128 RGT 96 BTM 116 LFT -81] Updated standings:

Cool, I’ll try to get it in the mail later this week

Hi Chris: Would a Alps DFC222B02A 360K 5.25" HH Floppy Disk Drive suite your needs? -Bill

When I hit Powerball tonight, this will be my first purchase: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134632036069?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TKA4pH8QTsG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QfU6nnIiRby&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I’ve never seen a complete Triton system before. I had a sidecar once, but not the IBM computer.
