    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:

    Most of these run in RXB with no modifications to the Basic programs and a bonus is they run faster then TI Basic.

     

    Never claimed other basics run unconverted in RXB, what I did say is it would more easy then TI Basic as RXB has more features meaning less code to convert.

    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.

    You're going to have to tell me what needs to change in the emulator. I don't use the FG99 routinely, so I'm not familiar with what you are trying to achieve or why you can't as-is. :)

     

    If you want me to run the FG99 menu software in Classic99, that's not likely to happen. Subfolders and the like already work fine, as does loading ROMs. I even put in a hack to support the fact that nobody ever puts the type extension character on FG99 files. ;)

     

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

    How would this be different from what it does now? FG99 carts are no different than any other cart image?

     

    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.

    A TIPI-compatible version of my Internet Browser is now available - go here [http://www.stuartconner.me.uk/ti/ti.htm#internet_web_browser] and scroll down to the "TIPI Version" heading for specific instructions.

     

    It is considerably faster to download pages than the serial port version, and also supports the TIPI mouse.

     

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

    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!

    Hi twoodland,

     

    the tipi also accept variable 19, so the compiler / XB256 will also work.

     

    It seems that the compiler reads the entire clock-string into a variable. As in XB does the command LINPUT.

     

    Here is my try in XB and EA5 with the same output in XB and in EA5. The EA5 works in 4ADOS too.

    Press ENTER for just a second to exit the program

     

    attachicon.gifCLOCK.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!
