  1. Well, I nver go around to it this weekend. I think it's going to be on hold until I get my basement work completed. But I'll report back once done.
  2. Sure. I'll give it a go this weekend. Thanks for letting me know about DiskIt. Sounds like a very useful program.
  3. Wow, this capacitor map is great. I will take your advice to heart and get the caps replaced by the end of the year. Yes, I'm pretty comfortable soldering. I have a decent kit for a life long hobbyist. I do have a newer kit on my list of things to upgrade this year. Thank you Igor. From the Mod to the instructions and capacitor map, this is fantastic and so are you.
  4. My experience with re-using SD-cards has yielded a common practice for me. This is not specific to TIPI but I have ran into weird issues re-using imaged SD cards. What I've found to eliminate these kinds of issues? in Windows I run DISKPART from an administrative command prompt and do a clean function on the SD card. After that I image and the weirdness is gone. Thi is true for Amiga images, TiPi images and pi Images in general (I have 3 Pi 3b+ and one Pi 400. All of my "anomolies" went away as soon as I put diskpart cleaning into my process. I hope it helps you. No harm in the practice.
  5. Ribbon. I also verified my mainboard revision before ordering so i was happy to get the standard kit. I also purchased the parts kit that comes with replacement capacitors. I don't need to replace any now but i thought it a good idea to keep the kit on hand.
  6. It took a bit of time to get here but I just finished this mod a few days ago. It's great. Thank you much. Yes, I went through AtariGamer.com. *****5 Stars thru and thru.
  7. I don't know. I was told that the clam shell case itself is the heat sink and i don't know that there is much room left to use an additional one. I just installed a couple of fans to draw the heat out ASAP and the operating temps are very good.
  8. Musick I made. Visuals by MilkDrop via WinAmp.
  9. I went PC power supply and never touched the vregs. My concern was cooling. I put temp sensors to watch and recently added a second PC fan. That's the abridged version. If interested, here is the rest of the story... The reason for the switch in PSU was due to how many cards and Disk drives. One is a GoTek, another is a 3.5" and the external is a 5 1/4". So there were concerns about the original PSU not being sufficient.
  10. Will do tomorrow and report back when done with all of those steps.
  11. Need some help. I hosed my sdcard so I imaged it with the latest version (tipi-sdimage-buster-2.28). I expanded the partition. I change the default tipi password. Upon first boot. I select 1. for TI BASIC Type CALL TIPI and hit enter. I get a garbled FinalGrom99 open menu screen. EDIT: Connections - TI-SpechSynth-SideCartSAMS-TIPi ?? Where do I go from here?
  12. I'm not sure. The photo seems to be a little different than the original I recall. I'll compare against some other pics after a quick google... I think you're right. I don't see a TI logo on it and Brand is listed as BASIC FUN. My mistake. I'll have to wait a couple weeks before I go and gerab a real one (about the same price) if it's in working condition.
  13. Can you post a picture of the catalog on the disk you transferred the hfe image to? This way we can see what kinds of files are on it and possibly tell you how to load and run one of the programs.
  14. I had one of these as a kid. I searched years ago for one and the few I found were pretty expensive. On a whim, I searched today and wow they are reasonable. There are several still listed from various sellers all around the $30 range including shipping. I don't know why I had to have it, but I did. I just got this one. That's price with shipping listed as "in good working condition" *used*. Order total: $26.01 (Yes, shipping included) Basic Fun Speak & Spell Electronic Game You should get it by 22 Nov.
