Eleven Spaceships Scrambling

Guess I've been playing too much TI Scramble.

Note also that the Thorne EMI games would have been side port cartridges too. They never released them in that format, but prototypes do/did exist. Kantronics also made a HAM Radio sideport cartridge (HAMSoft). Lastly, there were GROM Buster cartridges from CorComp and Navarone that plugged into the side port and allowed the user to insert ROM only cartridges into the cartridge port of a V2.2 console, press the GROM buster button, and the ROM cartridge would now be able to execute (instead of being locked out by the TI). This was a great option for those with V2.2 consoles.

Wait... you forgot two. The Paraprint cartridge by DataBioTics, and the Corcomp PIO Plus cartridge (which were both in the same case as a TI cartridge, just with a sideport connector).

Do you know what the 3 rarest cartridges we have? Henhouse, Video Vegas, and St. Nick. 

Rabbit Trail is actually much less common than Henhouse. Here is how rare each Funware cartridge is.

 

Driving Demon (most common)

Henhouse (less common than Driving Demon, but still uncommon)

Ambulance (same as Henhouse, it's less common than Driving Demon)

Rabbit Trail (Very uncommon, don't see too many)

St. Nick (RARE.)

Video Vegas (Very rare)

Schnoz-Ola (Unbelievably rare, only known as a prototype. Only know of one in the wild.)

at least of pipes there is the cartridge picture on one of the catalogs over the screenshot of the game.

According to the catalog, it said that screenshot was shown from the Commodore VIC-20. Look carefully under the description of the game in the catalog.

8220-- stage 2. I am a beginner, I guess.

and the well known Tigervision one.

That one is Miner 2049er because the Espial board had a Reset button on one side of the board, IIRC.

[TI99 Video Problem, maybe VRAM - Help Please]

Are those stripes showing up in the color bars or are they just an artifact of the picture?

it could be cool, but maybe you should add the name of Rasmus Moustgaard at least to complete.

The title also is not complete, as Rasmus told his SMB version is Super TI-99 Mario Bros.
my first version of the label for that game had the same error indeed 😛 so i fixed it after.

Fixed.

Nice! Here is one I made.

 You know what I've noticed? Parker Brothers and even Funware carts have the label fall off A LOT. Here, check out my Ambulance, Driving Demon, and Popeye carts: the Funware cart missing the whole label is a Driving Demon.

I may even do one or two more like that eventually, especially if I find more donor cartridges for an acceptable price.

Dude, I have a Popeye cart missing the whole label and a Q*Bert with half the label ripped off. But you don't want to destroy a Popeye cart...

[Images for ROMs, FlashROM 99, FinalGROM 99, manuals, strips, and more]

This is mine. We put a new label on because the other one was WAY too small. This one fits perfectly!

I've heard that the Disk Controller has to be last in the chain, but I find it odd that it has a pass-through port on the side if nothing will work in it.

That pass-through port on the side of the Disk Controller is for the Thermal Printer, IIRC.

We would do a black & silver one with all five of the original sidecars+program recorder & disk drive. And the Thermal Printer.

 

The other one we will do will be beige with the Hex-Bus Interface and all six of the Hex-Bus peripherals, the Printer/Plotter, Disk Drive/Controller, Wafertape drive, RS232, Modem, and the Printer 80. Plus a program recorder, of course.

EDIT: It will all be connected to power. They will also both have a PEB with the sidecars (black/silver system will have the original, the beige system will have the later model of the PEB). Plus they will both have a monitor (black/silver system will have a TI monitor while the beige system will have a COMMODORE monitor). The Impact printer will be connected to the black/silver system even though it's beige (cause do ya really need TWO 80-column printers on one system??) So far we have dug out the P-Code sidecar, a Disk Controller, black Pain Sticks, and a TI Disk Drive for the black/silver system. For the beige system, we have only dug out the Hex-Bus Disk Drive/Controller and a pair of beige Pain Sticks.

1. PEB box painting to Beige:

2. What was the first Beige module released ?

 

3. and more Beige equipment to add to the picture

 

 

 

 

Beige cassette cable (for 1 recorder)

 

 

 

 

Does the SuperSketch count as Beige?

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't count the Super Sketch as it connects via the cartridge port. There won't be an MBX due to the joystick port being blocked by the beige Pain Sticks in the joystick port.

There are also beige cables, like for the Beige Cassette player/recorder

 

I used to have the beige printer (MX-80 ?)

 

Is this the picture of the backside of the Cardboard box of the beige TI ?

(I do not have the box with me, but remember there is a similar picture).

The beige monitor and beige PEB never were produced ?  (but mantadoc painted one himself)

 

 

This is the Hex-Bus adapter correct ? 

 

 

 

 

 

That is the Hex-Bus Interface because I see the Hex-Bus port.

The only thing even close to a beige PEB I've ever seen was a beige cover for the disk opening. Never seen an actual beige PEB or monitor except in images on TI boxes. The back of the beige 99/4A box had a picture with a beige system, Speech Synthesizer, Hex-Bus Interface, and a beige Program Recorder. Oddly enough, the telephone coupler, PEB, Pain Sticks, & monitor are black & silver in the picture.

 

The beige printer is an impact printer.

No because the beige speech synthesizer case is exactly the same shape as the Hex-Bus Interface. Which has a bigger case.

Could you adapt the standard PCB of the Silver Speech Synthesizer into the Prototype beige case maybe, or it is completely different?

The beige version is a good idea. Also include Joysticks and Speech Synthesizer. Is there a certain order how to connect them?  And maybe take a screenshot of the CRU addresses as well ?

 

Can include the joysticks, but no Speech Synthesizer because Ksarul & me only have a case for the beige Speech Synthesizer.
