Seems to have resolved in an odd way. I ordered a KeeLog.com aftermarket PSU and I tried the cartridges with the new PSU and they worked fine. Coincidence or voltages problem?
The KeeLog.com PSU is quite advanced, with a small OLED display with details about power usage by the computer. Has my recommendation.

What is the best tape deck for extracting a good recording of a 25+ year old cassette? I looked through my old tapes and I have a game that does not seem to be anywhere online, game called "Oil Tycoon".

I have the theory that John Wick is so over the top and surreal because it's a training program for Neo. In that context the technology too primitive to rebel makes sense.

Bought a new addition to my classic computer collection, the requisite Commodore 64. It appears to be almost fully functional, boots and BASIC is there. However it refuses to boot with a cartridge inserted. Anyone encountered this problem before? My initial guess is stress on the connector cracked the solder connections over the years of inserting and removing cartridges.

Machine is stock, so far I am not finding the Terminal emulator 2 ROM in the ones I already have or the lists here on the forum.

I have the ESP8266 based virtual modem to go with my NanoPEB. Want to play with BBSes, what is the best terminal software ROM to put on the FinalGROM?

Thank you 🙂

My gray plastic unit has it's video chip failing, I see a black and metal one for sale with a damaged keyboard. Can I do a direct motherboard swap and have a fully functional TI again?

Been using Classic99 on WINE on Ubuntu, works perfectly.

Would you like to modify your console? It's beginner level soldering. Read about fixing the alpha lock problem once and for all by adding a diode (follow link on that thread to MainByte article).
Interesting. Maybe once I get my electronics bench outfitted and pickup an untested console for modification. Otherwise I want to keep my console as original as possible.

you probably already know about the ALPHA LOCK key thing?
No, I didn't. And, yes, the caps lock was on. HAHA.

Have a joystick adapter and two modern Atari joysticks from a Flashback. Powered up my TI today and the up direction does not work, tried both sticks on both ports. Any tips on testing the adapter and the console? Any common cap or resistor failure that I can check for? Thanks.

How does complex programs and games requiring swapping floppy disks play with systems like NanoPEB or the TiPi?

Can a .bin file of the Extended BASIC cartridge run from the FlashROM99? If so, where is the XB .bin file to download?
Thanks!

Anyone have a link to where to buy the correct power adapter for the nanoPEB? So happy I got one when they briefly appeared on Ebay last week, now need to power it up! :-)
I checked the manual PDF:
-----------
nanoPEB-SIO is designed to plug into the console’s expansion port but requires
an external power supply of 5 volts. The connector is 2.1mm and center pole is
positive. The power supply MUST be regulated.-----------
But not listing the AMP rating, I want to be sure I get the correct power supply.

Too bad you did not work at TI in the 80's. In some parallel universe this was the box that kept TI computers alive.
I soooo want one!!!!

Oh, cool. Thanks!
Then I suppose I am just trying to recover my own programs 🙂
