  1. anyone try making one for a buster beagle injector?
  2. the short lead is a feature for some circuits it's weird to see them in the wild when you do tho
  3. I just read a couple long posts in other forums about counterfeit SD cards and such might be worthy for people to post what brand/models of SD card work and possible ones that did not
  4. OLEDs had a soldering iron that the oleds burned out while it was turned off/unplugged while sitting in my toolbox
  5. I got access to two 3 axis mills one being a leadwell MCV 550D
  6. I like how no one talks bout how much noise must have come from having the data recorder that near the TV
  7. look at UK for steam engines and you'll see similar prices high due to rarity, so factory makes current reproductions....but sells them at rarity prices (shrug)
  8. nice stream, I got to catch a bit of it need to boost your mic a bit, you was a little quiet compared to game audio
  9. 5 isnt gnd, 7 is, so it should be 7 --7 and then a branch off to 5 cts
  10. Opry, keep me informed as a last resort option, I don't NEED it per se, but I'd rather pick it up instead of the garbage truck. I still havent finished playing with the first load of stuff I got from you
  11. so you are saying there is still time to make one? I just gotta find a willing partner
  12. Ideally it should do both, in case you are using some esoteric method that is such spaghetti code that t cannot be unwound easily assume the next person that maintains your code will be looking at it 20 years later, and is not comfortable in the dialect of the code you are running (been there, currently doing that, should order the t-shirt)
  13. this appears to be a good idea let me know how it progresses or, as the facebook printer groups would say "stl?"
  14. but but but dual casette? (still working on mine)
  15. I live next to a firetruck factory https://www.piercemfg.com/
  16. my PEB had a floppy drive, but it isn't working correctly, I was thinking of getting a disk emulator anyway Lotherek and Gotek are the choices in the FAQ, any updates, comments, recommendations?
  17. I've gotten over a month, depends on the LED just fyi
  18. cable management/control was the plan this morning set up so now it *should* be able to run two TI 99 4A's, two Raspberry Pi's, the peripheral expansion box and two tape drives all at once. need to add to it to get three more TI 99 4A's, maybe another Pi, and a second monitor, and bluetooth keyboards and mice for the Pi's then decide WHAT to do with all that slow, decrepit hardware
  19. I saw it too, had to find the right search term (computer power controller), find the one with the switches i liked, and then search AGAIN for the proper model, then picked on up on ebay installing/cable management today, as I have 5 TI's a couple PI's, a PEB, and two tape drives to set up. might need to get a second one. need to get a shopping list for all 5 TI's as i think I am short power supplies/video cables/monitors maybe another AV switch too
  20. over Xmas I dragged my monitor that I use for my TI to my parents house (has both rca and HDMI) for some Raspberry Pi work, and forgot to bring it back. while I'll get it back next time I visit (when snow melts), I really should find a replacement/backup monitor. my original monitor was an element 19" pawnshop find that worked with the TI, currently the only ones I can find cheap-ish are security cam monitors that go for about $70. anyone know of anything cheaper? I am also scouring our thrift shops regularly, but so far the only one I liked was $50 and had corrosion on the screws, meaning storage in a damp space. Ideally i'd need about 5 of them, but I might just end up running 4 TI's off a RCA AV switch
  21. I had this argument in with myself in '92 when I first chose the TI I had compared the consoles and the personal computers at the time and decided that having a device with a keyboard was the equivalent of a game console with 36+ buttons on it. a tape drive allowed you to store stuff, while cartridges did not(except a few) the reason why I didn't go with an atari 400/800 was that the cartridges were not backward compatible(and I think title count was low) the C64 didn't appear to have a cheap storage setup, and the unit looked like it was "just a keyboard" (this might be my only regret) TI had cartridges sold at nearby stores (kmart and shopko had them in larger amounts than C64/apple selections) TI had 16 colors and used a common TV apple cost too much, needed a dedicated monitor IBM cost waaaaaay too much, needed a dedicated monitor instead of a TV I got the 99/4a my neighbors got a NES(and thought getting a job pushing button was completely absurd) I have a job in IT now
