Can someone explain to me exactly what the Turbo XT was supposed to do?
http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/hardware/trit...urbo/turbo.html
I've seen this and several other pages on it, and all I can gather is that it allowed you to use your TI-99 as a keyboard for a cheap PC clone. Why would anyone pay $500 to do this? There must be something else I'm missing here.
Tempest
Isn't that cheaper than you could get a pc clone for in 1987? My parents bought some Radio Shack piece of crap around then and I'm sure it was way more than $500.
y-bot
Yeah but I don't think the $500 included the PC. I think it was only for the switch box thing.
Tempest
Well I don't know anything about that device besides what I read in the ad and it is confusing but it seems like it turns your TI-99 into a pc clone. Maybe there is more to it than what is pictured. I'm sure someone else knows the answer. Where are the TI-99 experts?

They've been coming down on ebay recently so it's not too bad of a place to buy them right now. There are services that bid for you an Yahoo Japan auctions but I've never used them. I've got friends in Japan for that. I got most of my stuff in Tokyo. I've been lucky enough to got there twice in the last two years. This guy is super nice and has some really great prices:
I've got a bunch of Famicom stuff I'll be selling soon. Keep checking the Marketplace forum.

They are great and it seems that some of the crazy-priced stuff has been lowered.

I took my Japanese games out of storage for a bit to play around with them and take some pics. Pretty much everything is from 1981-1986 besides some of the Disk System games. I haven't figured out where to draw the line on those. www.videogamecollectors.com doesn't seem to be working at the moment so I'll just post the pics here. Hope that's okay.
square-button Famicom, Family BASIC keyboard, data recorder
Twin Famicom, Famicom Disk System, card cleaner, Hudson holder thingy
suitcase for carts, 3rd controller, what is this other thing?
Super Mario Bros. 2 disk system carrying case, anyone seen this before?

Are there any Dig Dug commercials besides this one?

I have one on 16mm film that I bought years ago that I've never watched. I think the seller said it won a Clio award or maybe it was just nominated. Also I thought it had a military theme. I've always meant to have it transferred to some other format so I can watch it. I have a 16mm projector but I don't trust it enough to not ruin the film. Anyone here have equipment to transfer to dvd or digital video or whatever?
Thanks, y-bot

I'm also curious to know the value. Could you maybe post it after you find a buyer? I have a few of these I think. I include them with my atari systems regularily. Are they typically harder to find?
Nearly impossible to find with the hex disk. I've never seen one. I've had 20+ of the early style joysticks. Did they all have the hex duisk or was there a time when they still used that same joystick but left out the disk? Also I've found very few that work.
y-bot
I too have never owned a hex disk. I have had a several of the early joysticks but personally I don't care for them. Most of them have not worked.
I know that Sirjesto doesn't have too many post. I personally have done a couple of deals with him and he is a great person to deal with.
I'm really curious to find out what these sell for/have sold for. $20, $50, ??? I don't want to interfere with this sale but after it is sold I hope some people post what they think the value is.

I have a ton of loose ones from the early 70's to late 80's are they of any interest to anyone?
If you have any in good condition from the early 70's they could be valuable. The year marked on the base does not mean it was produced then, just the first casting of that body-style. Any made before 1977 should have red lines on the wheels. Most cars made in the late 70's to now if they are out of tehe pacakge and in average condition are neary valueless. There are of course rare ones but they are about as hard to find as a rare Atari 2600 cart. If you want to post some pics I can take a look at what you have.

Rick-yes NTSC only
Sean-is there a label that says "Galaxian"? I have a cart that the title screen says "Galaxian" I think.
y-bot
The one that I have says Galaxian on the title screen. The label does not say Galaxian.
Does it say "Galactic Invasion"?
I'm pretty sure mine has a Galactic Invasion label and the title screen says Galaxian. I've never seen one with a Galaxian label.
rick-if you have anything I want you are more than welcome to come and dig through my trade stuff at work anytime. It's real cold out there now.

Where are you shipping from, and what method? I prefer Parcel Post.
I'm shipping from Portland, Oregon USA 97232 or 97027 if I'm at work. I usually ship USPS Priority Mail but I can send USPS Parcel Post or UPS.

Is this one the same one that Best Electronics sells for $49.95?
http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...wareLabelID=722
It's on the bottom of this page:

Was this manufactured by Atari or something Best makes now?
