MyArc Geneve 9640 vintage computer system card TI-99 Texas Instruments RS232 PEB Is this a good price?

Good morning everyone, I was browsing on oldcomputers.net and found an ad offering TI-99/4A equipment for sale. I contacted the user who sent me some photos and said that he had a lot more available. I asked him if I could post the pictures along with his email on this forum and he agreed. I do not know this individual other than the brief emails we exchanged yesterday. I just thought I would pass this along in case anyone here is interested. His email is [email protected] Original ad: Pics he sent:

I must have misinterpreted your post then. In reviewing your post can you see why I thought that?

Just to confirm, for the 10 or so that I have tried by pasting them into Classic 99 using RXB 2015E, they do not run without needing changed. Unfortunately. I seem to remember a conversion table listing in the beginning of this book. Does anyone know of any additional resources about conversion to TI Basic? Also, I see that they have reissued a 30th anniversary Microsoft small basic edition with the original George Beker "Robot" illustrations. He came out of retirement for this one and even added comments to each of his iconic illustrations.

An option would be to get a PEB. That way you keep the stock look and have modern options installed as well such as the TIPI and SAMS boards. It may be that it ends up not being that much more than an original sidecar.

Very nice! Thank you blackbox!

Good points! I will use it as is. No need to change anything. Thanks for considering it.

Man! That was so much fun! Thank you Omega for posting your article! I am looking forward to next month's group chat! Next time offering two different hour blocks of time (9-10PM CEST and 9-10PM EST) so that more users can participate in one or both! If you have any suggestions/comments please post em!

Reminder to join the group chat tonight at 9-10PM EST.

I was thinking that it would help speedup the management and organization of the FG99 menu/filesystem. It would be faster/easier than moving the SD card to the PC, load the .bin to verify which program on the menu it is, make a change and then move it back to the cart to test it on real iron. Plus, it would make it easier in classic 99 to have many carts setup and available.

Tursi, Would it be difficult to add an FG99 cart option using a FG99 folder that we could copy our SD card files to?

With Stuarts approval, here is a .BIN version of Stuart's TIPI compatible Internet Browser V9.2.

For those of you that have a TIPI and FG99, here is a .BIN version (if you are interested) to use for tomorrow nights chat.

With Stuarts approval, I am posting a .BIN version of the TIPI-compatible Internet Browser V9.2 for use with FG99. STBROWSERV92.zip

You're welcome. Great! I am looking forward to it!

Here is an updated version of TIPICLOCK to support the PI.CLOCK update in version 1.37. This update returns to the original program but now includes XB, EA5 and BIN versions. TIPICLOCK.zip

You got it! (thought I would keep with the Opry99er theme lol) Your turn to post a screenshot.

Here goes:

Werewolves & Wanderers

Here is an updated version of TIPICLOCK to support the PI.CLOCK update in version Obetav035. This update includes XB, EA5 and BIN versions.

WOW! I have updated the XB Game Developers Package to ISABELLA! Boy, am I now spoiled. It is sooo nice! Thank you senior_falcon! Using the example solution provided by wolhess, I have learned a great deal and updated the program: 100 REM ******************* 110 REM * TIPICLOCK v2 * 120 REM * by TWOODLAND * 121 REM * and WOLHESS * 130 REM *-----------------* 140 REM * For TIPI * 150 REM * Obetav035 * 160 REM ******************* 170 CALL CLEAR 180 OPEN #1:"PI.CLOCK",DISPLAY,INPUT,VARIABLE 19 190 CALL KEY(0,K,Q) 200 LINPUT #1:A$ 202 W$=SEG$(A$,1,1) 204 D$=SEG$(A$,3, 206 T$=SEG$(A$,12,19) 210 IF W$="1" THEN F$="MONDAY" 220 IF W$="2" THEN F$="TUESDAY" 230 IF W$="3" THEN F$="WEDNESDAY" 240 IF W$="4" THEN F$="THURSDAY" 250 IF W$="5" THEN F$="FRIDAY" 260 IF W$="6" THEN F$="SATURDAY" 270 IF W$="7" THEN F$="SUNDAY" 280 DISPLAY AT(2,1):F$$:T$ 290 IF Q=0 THEN 190 300 CLOSE #1 310 END I have attached a zip containing the XB, EA5 and BIN versions. Woo Hoo! This is so much fun! TIPICLOCK.zip

Thats It!!!! Thank you so much. Now to learn from your example. I did not think to segment out the data string even though I saw how it presented the data. Are the call sound statements used for a delay? I am guessing that because of the volume level at 30. Thanks again I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I will check it out and get updated.

I for one am impressed with how much work and interaction with the community you have done so far to resolve the issue. I hope you have had some fun in learning and working with it. Please do not get discouraged.

As someone who is currently trying to gain a working knowledge and struggling to get my XB program to compile to produce my expected result, It would be handy tool to have as an option to use for verification/validation.
