Jim, Thanks. I got it from arcadeshopper. Gregory Mcgill, do you know what version I might have? Cheers!

Bought my hexti-r a couple of years ago and now that I'm retired, I've had some time to play with it. It seems to work fine on various load and run programs. The clock program and fopstest.pgm run fine. I have a couple of issues when using Memo Processor. I can save a file from MP. When I load the file from hexti-r, MP hangs with IO showing on the cc40 screen. If I power cycle the hexti-r, MP un-freezes and the complete file is loaded. If I try to save the same file again, MP asks to overwrite the existing file. I enter Y to do so and then MP replies with "device does not allow writing file". I'm not sure if I have the latest firmware or exactly how to update it. In anycase hext-r is quite an achievement.

Here are a bunch of programs for the cc40 that will run off a hexti-r. They are from thw whtech ftp site. There is a lot of info there on the cc40. cc40.zip

I finally got around to playing with hexti-r. What a cool device! I may be a little dumb but the only way I could get the setclock.pgm to work is list and edit the year=, month=, etc. lines and run the program. Is that how it is supposed to work? Works for me. Are there any recent firmware updates ( after 2020 I supose)? How do you do that? Video of clock running: https://youtu.be/6KqP3gpBKoI Great work Gregory Mcgill and Jim Brain!

Having a ball with TIPI. Infocom and Atari games are working. Mega Menu, Finalgrom, and ForceCommand are a hoot. I purchesd and installe the eprom for the TIPI PEB board and every thing works as usual. I notice there are now files in my TIPI disk directories that are /sectors. What can I do with them. What new features do I have to play with and mess up? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I love everything that TIPI does for the TI. In some ways the fun factor surpasses my Commodore 128 rig which I also use every day. ~Bob

Thanks for the quick replies. Right now it is the Infocom disks from whtech's ftp site. They work properly on 1100.dsk1 but the loaders fail on 1000.dsk2 Same with the atari collection of games ( although they load just fine idividually with forcecommand on 1000.dsk1. For nostalgia reasons I would like to keep my floppies in the mix, but I have a couple of shoe boxes of diskes that I'd like to pu on the tip "hard drive". Too bad we can't change cru on the fly. I have included my tipi log Cheers! TIPI.mhtml

Please pardon me if I am being thick. I have a PEB system with TI 32k, TI disk controller, TI rs232 and TIPI. The TIPI is set to cru1000 and the TI disk controller is fixed at cru 1100. Everything works great except for some games and programs that look for dsk1 always at cru1100. Is the only way to achieve full compatibility is to set thr TIPI at cru11000 and ditch the floppy drives and TI disc controller? Thanks

Thanks. I upgraded my tipi to 3.4 and MM works great!

Successful upgrade to 3.4 and Buster! With MegaMenu and ForceCommand's ansi telnet, oh the things I can do. What a terrific combination of talent that came to bear on our old TI. Well done!

Good to know. It's not bad to start fresh every now and then. Thanks for the great work!

Will an sudo apt dist upgrade work to get to 3.x? Thanks!

What a cool program! I have a hybrid tipi/ti disc contoller system and forcecommand allows me to use both floppies and tipi's file system an d most things work for me. Too bad there is not a way to easily change the cru on the TI disc controller. I also must say that your telnet program is one of the best even at 40 columns. I can use it to maintain my raspberry pies as well as it being totally usable on my unix shell account. Well done! Having ansi functionality is a must. I wonder if sometime it would be able to have 64 columns like the tipi telnet client? I don't have an f18. My system: Silver console ( I am the original owner from 1983) PEBw/ TI Disc Controller TI rs232 TI 32k TIPI Thanks again for ForceCommand!

I just stumbled across this and your program is amazing! Thank you. I'm sure to enjoy this for a long while.

I like the inclusion of TIPI's drive mapping status in the web gui that came with the latest update. Well done!

Yes. I suppose so.

Is it possible, or are there plans to make an rs232 redirect similar to PI.PIO so we could use programs like Term80, Telco, FastTerm, and VT4?

Hi, I meant to post this here but stupidly posted in the general TI99 forum. I finally put together my TIPI PEB system together and it is really an amazing project. After playing with it a while, I have found that I want to copy files from physical disks to the TIPI and back. I have mastered using the web interface and windows share to get files on the tipi . Anyway I came across the program ForceCommander and am having trouble understanding how to get it to load and run from the TIPI. Do I need the FinalGrom (I have one on order) to do this? I copied the FC folder over to TIPI and if I type the command CALL TIPI("TIPI.FC.FCMD") the system looks like it tries to load and then it reverts to the boot scree. I am probably being dense, but I really don't where to start. Thanks for any help to point me in the right direction.

I was so excited to see the HexTi-r sd drive at arcade shopper so I bought it. Can't wait to play with it on my fat cc-40. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. The rom cart is also very tempting...

Jim, I have been a fan of your work for quite some time and have several of your go4retro creations. I would be more than happy to beta test anything that would be helpful to you. I have an expanded cc40 , hexbus rs232, and modem and would be very interested in an sd storage solution as well as a 40/80 column video solution. ~Bob

This is the pin out of the lantronix unit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjkhybl5i524klq/Untitled.jpg?dl=0

That would be great! I have the parts just need a little clarity.

Hi, Does anyone have clear wiring diagram to make an adapter from TI 25 pin serial to a standard db9 male connector? I have a lantronix device that I want to use term 80 with. Thanks in advance. ~Bob

Came across these graphics that I created many years ago with GeoPaint for my work in lighting. I still like my 128d better than my more modern computers.
