Seriously? Is this really worth the asking price?!? https://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-4A-MORSE-CODE-GENERATOR-ON-5-25-FLOPPY-DISK/264045633439?hash=item3d7a589f9f:g:wAEAAOSwMgdXx5er:rk:16:pf:0

Can someone with a schematic tell me about the motherboard component C-120? There are a bunch around the VDP RAM section. I would like to order a replacement part, and a recommendation would be appreciated.

Thank you Omega, I already have a TEII cartridge, I just wanted to be able to run it from the FG99 cart so I don't have to change carts. I appreciate you looking them up though.

I found this one too. It is an earlier 81-82 model: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4a-Home-Computer-Retail-Box-READ/273562429850?epid=1200363009&hash=item3fb197699a:g:Q4sAAOSwmUFb71K0

10 CALL CLEAR 20 OPEN #1:"SPEECH",OUTPUT 30 PRINT "A Visit from St. Nicholas":"By Clement Clarke Moore" 40 PRINT #1:"A VISIT FROM SAINT NICK O LUSS BY CLEMENT CLARK MOORE" This works great when I have the TEII cartridge in and select option 1 Basic.

I too wear multiple pairs of reading glasses when soldering SMD components.

Does anyone have a .bin of Terminal Emulator II (TEII) (PGM3035) Basic? I would like to run it from my FinalGROM99 (FG99) cart. When I run the ones that I can find (TE-IIC.BIN, TE-IIG.BIN) they are like selecting option 2 and 3 from the TEII cartridge. Even if I do a warm boot and select option 1 Basic when the TEII options 2 and 3 are showing, the Basic does not have the speech functionality. Is there a trick or is there a separate TEII Basic .BIN available?

The one in this auction looks to be in excellent condition and is reported to work. If interested, you could make an offer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4A-Computer-Console-Speech-Synth-Manual-Software/183575563064?hash=item2abdf4cb38:g:hhMAAOSwjfdcDmso:rk:12:pf:0 Disclaimer: Although the auction location is Powell, OH which is near me, I am not affiliated with it at all.

Congratulations on a job well done! What's next on the 99er project list?

wolhess, Thank you so much for your discussion on this topic, and for posting your 4A/DOS configuration files. I do not yet have a 4A/DOS UberGROM cartridge, but I do have a FG99. I am very interested in using 4A/DOS with my TIPI. I do not have 80 column capability, so I am grateful for your configuration files that support 40 columns. How did you create the LOAD files like LOADEDIT, LOADBIG etc. Can I view/edit them?

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Is there any chance that someone has a copy that they would like to part with? I would love to have one of these!

The Orange TI-99 Has A Matching Program Recorder!

I used Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X "Real Orange" and "Satin Clear" spray paint. I disassembled the console. I only painted the top bezel. I removed the cartridge cover bracket. Using a hair dryer, I heated up the logo sticker on the top and removed it using a small plastic screwdriver (this worked well and I would have re-used it but it had a scratch on it, so I printed a new one on photo paper, laminated it, then cut it to fit. I used double-sided tape to reattach). I cleaned the top bezel using dish soap and warm water, then rinsed with warm water. After it had dried, I took a cotton ball with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and rubbed the entire top bezel (over and under). I then painted the top bezel, doing a very thin coat. I let it dry for 1 hour, then did a second thin coat. After another hour, I did a third thin coat. I held the can about 8" from the top bezel and would start spraying and stop spraying in the air away from the top bezel, then using a sweeping motion from side to side taking care to paint evenly. I let it dry for 24 Hours and then did the same process to the underside of the top bezel. I then let the top bezel dry for 48 Hours. After that, I sprayed the clear coat using the same process (3 thin coats) on the top bezel, top side only (not the underside). I did not use primer as it was integrated into the paint. I did not sand between coats (I would have if something had gotten into the wet paint). After 48 hours, I reassembled the console! I made the TI-99/4A on the label green to compliment the orange color. I also filled in the line on the power switch using a green crayon.

This would look good setting by it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Red-Western-Electric-AT-T-Rotary-Telephone-500DM/264028822537?hash=item3d79581c09:g:9rcAAOSwaDtby3TA:rk:6:pf:0

This would be a nice addition for a collector. Price seems steep, but then again I do not know how hard these are to find: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Instruments-Home-Computer-Telephone-Coupler-Modem-PHP1600-for-TI-99-4A/332864025298?hash=item4d803df2d2:g:r24AAOSw-HRb3Hr4:sc:USPSPriority!43015!US!-1

The paint color name is "Real Orange" and I agree that it is reminiscent of the General Lee, Home Depot Orange, or the "Reply To This Topic" button! Now I need to find a beige program recorder that I can paint to match!

My Orange TI-99/4A:

Wow that was quick!

Project #2 is going well! Console is working (easy fix - the switch cover was not seated on the switch) and now is painted. I am awaiting an F18A to become available.

Ooo drool...
