All I want for Christmas is... (must be TI-99/4A related)
AMenard replied to Omega-TI's topic in TI-99/4A Computers
A PEB would be nice :-) But i would settle for a nice book on how to program in assembly on the TI and something to save my files. -
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell is coming to the Alamo City
AMenard replied to RARusk's topic in Classic Console Discussion
What? No spa, booze or drugs! Mr. Bushnell is getting old -
I've writen to arcadeshopper asking if there's a waiting list or a way to be informed when they get back in stock. In the mean while I'm watching ebay for any good deal on a classic peb or a modern one.
-
Yes, the finalgrom99 is quite the device to get. I'll try to get one once I've got some way to load and save the code that I'll write on the TI99. This is my first priority.

I'm in Canada... Province of Quebec as stated below my avatar pic. This also explain why the peb is hard to come by since it wasn't really popular up here.

Hi, I've been setting up my own little retro computer lab recently an in the process acquired a beige TI99 in working condition. Like I did with my Apple IIe, atari 130xe and C128, I would like to acqire a few modern devices to make using these computer more efficient. I know about the nanoPEB, the CF7+ And the side 32k expansion that ArcadeShopper advertise, but none of them seems to be available. I'm still looking for a full size PEB but they're rare in my neck of the wood and most who are selling them charge sometime more than the PEB for shipping. Since I want to code in assembly and in XB I will need that 32k exp and also something to save to. Anybody knows of another source or group to buy those expansions?

The only time I missed not having a disk drive on my coco 2 was when I started BBSing, but I moved to the Atari and C64 soon after. A friend of mine still has his coco3 with dual FDD but he was into OS-9.

WTB: Minty Condition TI-99/4A Computer (Silver & Black Version)
AMenard replied to Skippy B. Coyote's topic in Wanted
You can get the books on Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/ti-99-4a-users-reference-guide-1981 -
Hi, Since I can't list it again on eBay due to the fact that the two previous time the buyers either cancelled or refused to pay and I've thus reached my 60 days limit on the amount I can sell, I post it here for trade for the system I was planing to buy with the funds that the sale of the XBOne would have fetch. The XBox was barely used since I also had a PS4 and Wii U. I think I've watched about a dozen movies on it... In all cases I'll pay for the shipping both way and will even throw in a 2Tb external USB HDD as a bonus. I ship to Canada and the USA. I'm looking for the following system in order of preference. They must be in good working order and I don't really care if it's pristine or not in appearance as long as its not broken or missing parts and comes with all wires and PSU to hook them up: TI99/4A (any version will do) with optional but desired PEB (The PEB can be empty) I got a TI99/4A elsewhere PEB for TI99/4A (can be empty, I'll hunt down the cards and FDD if needs be but having a FDD + controller would be nice!) or any modern day alternative with ram+serial/usb+CF/SD floppy/hdd emulator TI99/4A Sidecar FDD controller and drive + TI tape recorder Atari 1040STF(m)/STE with (optional) mouse Amiga 500 with ram expansion Amiga 1000 ram expansion (sidecar) Again, those machine/parts don't need to be perfect but they do need to be complete, working and not broken. I don't really care about scratches or ding. I'm not a museum, I intend to use those thing Thank you for watching.

I don't have a big collection and I'm not intending to have one. I don't collect software be it disk or carts instead I've got my hand on the ToSec archives for the systems that I own and use floppy emulator to access them. You can see the system that I own presently in my signature and my end game is only missing three systems, the TI99/4A, Atari ST and the TRS80 Coco (2 or 3), after that I'm done as I'll have every system that I used in the past. I may replace two of the system that I own though. I would like to replace the A1000 by an A500 since it was better supported and it's easier to find parts for it, and the Apple IIe Platinum which I would like to replace by a IIGS for the more advanced capabilities. My interest in those system is coding mostly. I'm getting too old for playing games but I like programming stuff. So all in all I don't need that much space. The 8 bits machine are hooked up to the 1702 and 19" LCD on one desk, the 16bits machine will be connected to a 19" LCD as I'm about to retire the Amiga 1080 after about 30 years of service and I don't have the ST yet, on another desk. I have one PC in that room that I use for file transfer that also share the 8bit 19" LCD screen. No big game boxes or cart collection, no gadget or plush toys or promotional items, only usable systems. And the whole thing fit inside an 8x8 area of my finished basement or about half of my electronics lab which is about 14' x 8'. And when I lose interest or get to old, I'll put them on eBay or in the marketplace here. It's an hobby not an existential need.

Delete please. I originaly posted it in the wrong sub forum.

Just for fun contest idea: "i can't believe it's not bitmap"
AMenard replied to ramidavis's topic in TI-99/4A Computers
I also wonder... Even if the graphics are made with just the character set, are they not a bitmap graphic nonetheless? After all those characters are just bits mapped in a cell (8x8 or other depending on the system). So no modification to those stock character then? Maybe the OP should have asked for pure ASCII art then? -
Favorite Operating Systems of all time?
AMenard replied to Rick Dangerous's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Man, we're going from memory for an OS that was released 22 years ago... -

Yes there were a few releases of it. -
Favorite Operating Systems of all time?

The first edition of Windows 95 ran on top of Dos 6.22 and used an addition to the Dos file system to support long filenames. -
Favorite Operating Systems of all time?
AMenard replied to Rick Dangerous's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Here are my favorite OSes : Non PC: GEM OS : It was fonctionnal and out of my way and for what I was doing with my 520STfm it was quite sufficient. AMIGA OS : It was quite powerful with its multitasking but I found the workbench less user friendly than the GEM desktop. And beside, I never ever used the multitasking capability of the machine. Atari Dos 2.5 : Nice menu driven interface compared to the C64 esotheric commands. PC : MS DOS 6 : It was he Apex of MS DOS OS/2 Warp : I even was a member of the Montreal OS/2 fan club :-). I liked that it came with Rexx which I knew from my Amiga days (Arexx). Windows 98SE : It replaced my OS/2 Warp machine and was the best 9x OS. Windows 7 : Last of the classic windows shell and last to offer Windows Media Center which I loved to use with MediaBrowser 2.x -
Number of Apple II items on ebay continuing to increase.
AMenard replied to Keatah's topic in Apple II Computers
This is especially true for the z80 CP/M board... I wonder if CP/M is making a comeback or not :-) -
World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria World of Warcraft: Walord of Draneor World of Warcraft: Legion In fact it's pretty much the only game I played on and off since 2006...

If I search for Goodwill store in Montreal, for example, I get links to Value Village. Both stores are partner under the Renaissance org. https://www.renaissancequebec.ca/en

No Goodwill, but we do have Value Village in Montreal which cater to the same market segment. The videogame section is pretty bare except for the sport titles. On the other hand, the music CD section is good in most of them and the more you buy the less they charge per items. I don't buy electronics there though. Looking at the state of some of the stuff that is available, I don't want to bring roaches or bed bugs into my house.
