    Well, I finally made it over to the group chat last night.  I ended up getting bounced several times from a poor internet connection on my side again and finally gave up.

    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.

    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

    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

    no plato uses a nonstandard disk format that won't work at all on TIPI  the disks only have one file in the catalog but there's much more there on the disk than that.. likely sector access which TIPI doesn't support

    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.

    Here is a silly little XB slot machine 10 liner I threw together.... Let me know if anyone pulls off the jackpot (space invader, man, pacman & ghost - in this order).

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

    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!

    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.

    What does CALL TIPI do on your end?

    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.
