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

TI-99 Photos Thread! Post your systems here!
iliketurtles replied to slinkeey's topic in TI-99/4A Computers
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. -

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. -

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. -

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

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. -

I LOVE IT! If I were ever to do a setup like that, I would use a beige system, pull out a Hex-Bus interface, in which I would attach a Hex-Bus floppy drive/controller, RS232, and a Printer 80. Who could forget about a beige program recorder? And beige TI pain sticks... okay never mind on the sticks. -

OK! There was also one more... Starship Pegasus which was never produced but it has been coded. -

I agree. The TI has a history of pain sticks... and SUPER pain sticks! -

The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
iliketurtles replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Today's finds--jackpot. Found this at a thrift store. The GC was $25 while the Genesis games were $2 a pop. Sadly, the GC had a dead motherboard. Funny thing is, I found another GameCube a while back that couldn't read discs. So I took 'em both apart because there was a good chance the one with the dead motherboard had a good disc drive, so I put the disc drive from the one with the dead motherboard in the one that had a bad disc drive. Now the first one I found works! I guess there was an actual reason I bought the dead one. -
I mean, try not to beat me up for this, but I don't like Picnic Paranoia at all. The only Atarisoft game I don't like.

This is my TI... along with most of my OTHER systems! -
All I ever found was a Parsec cartridge next to some Nintendo 64 games.

I only have a Football cart for my collection! I absolutely loathe Football for the TI. I played it and shut off the system within ten SECONDS of gameplay.
