  1. Many credit cards offer 1 time use numbers for online purchases, you can just check with the issuing bank.
  2. For what it's worth, I've bought many things from Arcade Shopper and never had a problem.
  3. Yes, feel free to relax after you send me mine.
  4. Low BIN price if you're looking for a fixer upper PEB http://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4A-TI99-PHP1200-Peripheral-Expansion-System-PEB-Box-2-/152291805504?hash=item23754c8940:g:KvUAAOSwn7JYDTCk
  5. I think I remember seeing a PEB on a shelf in that guy's garage in the first season
  6. and everything over $200 only cost $200 if you get my meaning.
  7. They had one at the Sears in Norman, Oklahoma. I remember it well, it was next to the Sears branded Atari 2600 clone.
  8. Sorry to hear that. This has been a terrible year.
  9. Thanks for all the offers of help, but I managed to get another controller and the good news is my drives and cables are fine, but the suspect controller, in fact, was the problem. Guess I need to contact the seller now.
  10. One is an internal cable the other is external, 2 different cables
  11. I'd like to reiterate the drives and disks I'm using worked fine with the previous controller. starting to think this one is bad too
  12. I just got a TI disk controller on Ebay to replace the one I ruined. Assuming the seller is honorable in his evaluation that the controller "works perfectly", I need to figure out what could be wrong. My previous controller worked fine with my PHP 1250 drive and my Lothartek HXC, I plugged them both in initially, and when I start up the system with XB 2.7 and try to list a directory, the TI drive spins up nothing is displayed and then it goes back to the main menu. Same with the HXC. I went into disk manager and it claims that neither drive is initialized which I know is not correct. I tried just one drive each, same result. I tried initializing a new disk, and got disk error 31. Is there something I might be missing, or is this controller most likely hosed? Any tests that you recommend I try?
  13. The first time I saw this ebay item, I scoured the entire movie and took screen shots of every keyboard I found and posted it here. There is no TI anywhere in the movie, not even in the background, on a shelf or under a couch.
  14. I just spent 100 more after I ruined my disk controller trying to desolder to do the 80 track update.
  15. Some of us know this as the music from the Commodore 64 ads.
  16. Are the turns random or do you have an actual track path? How hard would it be to have multiple track layouts? Pole Position actually used all the turns at Fuji speedway, without the elevation changes.
  17. Heartbreaking, my condolences. I can't imagine what his wife is going through.
  18. I think Admins should be henceforth be known as admits.
  19. I've been impressed with how much like the original systems the emulation is. I was playing a game on the C64 that felt perfect in terms of emulation speed. The down side is that it has no way of using a C64 cartridge. I forgot how slow a machine without fastload is.
