I feel like I am cursed. Right before the chat, my Internet connection went down, I finally got it restored after working with tech support around midnight. The real kicker is... I have no idea what the issue was or what fixed it. I just know that tech support passed me to three different techs and reset my connection at least 5 times. Ugggghhhh. Tim

All, My TI-99/4A Mitsumi Keyboard (Black not Beige) stopped working. I opened it up and found the mylar to be too far gone. I would need to buy some silver paint/pens and retrace most of the sheet. I am looking for a replacement keyboard. Please contact me if you have one available. Thank you, Tim

Great job wolhess! Wonderful troubleshooting! Inspirierend!

I am looking for a journaling program to give me another excuse to use my TI99 every day. Ultimately, I would like to be able to have the program run from a cart/fg99 and have the option for the TI99 to read/speak the daily entries (TIPI compatible files) I type, back to me (or to my family whom I hope would use the TI99 someday) to review my nuggets of dribbling incoherent thoughts. 😂 Does anyone know of any programs that exist and/or would be willing to help modify/create one? I am a novice programmer but love learning. I am hoping to get involved with a virtual TI99 users group, as I have not found a local user group, to learn from and have community with. v/r Tim

Put me down for 1 8Mb assembled. Thank you Jim!

Here is an updated keyboard strip for PlatoTerm 99 v0.1

Do you know if the TI Plato courseware disks have been integrated into the Plato IRATA Online courses? If not, can we get them added? Maybe a question for tschak909.

Thank you for your feedback! Currently, it is scheduled Monthly on the 9th @ 9-10 PM CST & 9-10 PM EST - (http://www.myti99.com, login, select group chat)

Well, the last three monthly chats had no participants. I am open to suggestions to get this TI community chat active.

Click Here First - I get that the TI Program Recorder was a re-branded GE model, but ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TEXAS-INSTRUMENTS-CASSETTE-TAPE-PROGRAM-RECORDER-MODEL-NO-3-50160/233334689318?hash=item3653d4ce26:g:v50AAOSwHttdcyMN

(insert TI-99/4A emoticon here) Well if the F18a Mk2 (https://dnotq.io/) is released.... I would not be able to resist.

I use WinSCP and it is working. Thank you for the updates arcadeshopper!

Looks great! Thank you Invisible.

FYI: Bones-69 provided the correction to line 100. B(I+=A(I) should be B(I+8)=A(I).

I would like to see the max # of digits possible using the SAMS board!

Awesome! I really enjoyed this and hope to hear more TI-99 mixes!

This is a great question. On the TI, (I do not have an F18a (yet..) for 80 column support), I use JediMatt's TIPI Telnet which supports ANSI in 64 column mode on real iron. Since it does not support file transfers, I use Jeff Brown's TERM80 on the TI (which also supports ANSI), when I want to transfer files. I would use the TI more if I had an F18a (Mk I or Mk II). Until then, I end up using SyncTERM (for the ANSI music support) and Netrunner. I would love to see a full featured TIPI/serial ANSI terminal, supporting file transfer protocols and speech support. I appreciate all the work you, [email protected] and others have done to make the TI-99/4a able to access and utilize BBSs! Thank you!

hear! hear!

Thanks! I will try that configuration.

I am trying to use CaDD PC99W on Windows 10 to run Stuart's Browser using a serial port (w/WiModem232). Which is the best choice to use for the storage configuration to make it similar to using Classic99's and/or TIPI's DSK folders? PC99W can be configured for the TI Disk Controller Card, Guion mod for the TI Disk Controller, Myarc Floppy Disk Controller, Myarc Hard/Floppy Disk Controller, or the Thierry Nouspikel IDE Disk Controller. I have Stuart's Browser .tidisk image, but it is larger than a standard TI Disk. I do not have any experience with the other options. The Cyc has PC99W disk images and cartridges for most all the of the standard classic titles. I would like to be able to easily use newer community created software (disks and cartridge images) like I do on Classic99 and TIPI.

Do you have a multimeter to test continuity? If so, test the device power port to see which side has continuity to (frame/chasis) ground (may or not be the case but it is a quick and easy check).

@Opry99er - are there any updates? I am looking forward to becoming a TRU-MUG member. I would like to help however I can.

I have had two issues loading programs/data so far where TIPI appears to be functional (ONLY two and I use this alot 👍). I can CALL TIPI and it looks normal, and can even load programs. In both cases, (Issue #1 TEII Speech intermittent) (Issue #2 Music Maker loading song files) I took the 32k and TIPI boards out of my custom case, cleaned, then re-seated the connections/chips and the issues were mitigated. Aside from ID10T errors, where I need to do more troubleshooting before posting, I am hoping that there is a more comprehensive TIPI diagnostic that could assist in troubleshooting. If not that is okay too, I just thought I would ask.
