I posted a scan of a photocopy of the SDS Programmers Guide in the Development Resources sticky, but it was suggested I start a new thread, so here it is. I have some other stuff, SDSMAC source listings, additional documentation, etc. to put here, too. Coming soon. Anyone else have anything relevant, please post away. The SDS consists of a GPL assembler, linker, simulator, and debugger running under DX10 on a TI 990 mini, typically a /10. TI BASIC programs can be converted to GROM format to run on the simulator. [edit] Anyone has a copy of the SDS software or even a running system, or knows where such might be, please post here, message me, or email jbdigriz@dragonsweb.org. Thanks! jbdigriz HCM_SDS.pdf

I just got a PEB (see my avatar). It has a full high ss/sd drive, memory, rs-232,-code cards installed. I know there is many, many ways of getting files to the TI-99 from the internet using the PEC; HxC drives, IDE card, Mod RS-232 card, TIPi card and probably more. BUT, some are no longer get-able and others are still not available. So, what do you all think is the best and most cost effective way of getting files to the TI-99 from the internet. I'm leaning to replacing my full high ss/sd with 1 or 2 HxC floppy emulators. Any thoughts on the subject?

I could swear I had read a discussion here some time ago about there being two versions of the first TI Home Computer, the TI-99/4 but can't seem to find it anywhere. I am asking because I've recently gotten a hold of one of these, but am waiting on a cable to arrive in order to hook it up to a modern display in order to find out if it even still works. I'm just curious to know what was different between the two if indeed there were two versions of it. Unfortunately the one in my possession had the serial number scratched off of it so it may be impossible to determine which one I have. I think it would be based on the serial number matching up to the production run. Regardless, if someone could confirm or deny that there were two different 4's, I'd greatly appreciate it.

1. TI Logo Cartridge (the original 99/4 version, not Logo II). The manual would be nice, but it will double or triple shipping fees, and the Cart Manuals archive has a decent scan, so unless you live near the Canadian border, I'd be happy just to get the cart. 2. Scott Foresman's Star Maze (white label) Can't afford the one on ebay - it's only $51 US (not outrageous for sealed), but at the current exchange rate that works out to $110 CAD shipped (gotta love ebay's global shipping brokerage fees - adds $15 bucks to this one, even though duty and taxes are not applicable on vintage software under NAFTA) I'd love to find this with a manual (original color illustration, not the latter-day generic White Foresman cover with label), and this time it wouldn't effect shipping at all, but again it's not a deal breaker. If some kind soul has these in their 'dispensable' collections, you'd let me put something under tree that I WANT!

Hi 99ers, this thread here should be a small helper for collecting some facts, specs & data for the "big list", (and maybe you can use it for your own requests) If you have anything NOT mentioned in one of the lists here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/241978-ti-99-resources-lets-have-a-list-for-it/?p=3306338 it would be cool if you just could drop it here into the thread (or there) Please don´t hesitate, and any format & content is welcome. (Facts, Text, Links, Pictures, Manuals & WhatEver) I will integrate anything that is possible and update the PDFs in the thread mentioned above. For big uploads, you can also use this link ftp://u67140205-atariage:TeXasTI994A@toxic-instruments.com/_IN or with FTP-proggy: FTP-HOST: toxic-instruments.com USER: u67140205-atariage PASSW: TeXasTIxx4A (and replace the two "xx" here with a "secret" number) FOLDER: _IN Also eMails up to 99 MB are possible, to 99er [ät] toxic-instruments [döt] com thanks for any contribution schmitzi

Possible TI-99/4 and 4a history book - thoughts?
Bill Loguidice posted a topic in TI-99/4A Computers
I've been thinking on and off about what my next series of projects will involve, and one thought that came to me as an offshoot of a related idea was doing a definitive TI-99/4 and 4a history book. I'd like it to be similar to one of the more recent books I did, CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy's Underdog Computer, with Boisy Pitre. One of the advantages we had with that book was that Boisy had a good headstart of key contacts to interview for the book (which in turn led to others over time) and had considerable and very specific subject matter expertise (I brought the writing and publishing expertise, as well as my overall perspective on the industry over the years--it helps to have both a superfan and casual fan working on a subject such as that). My original idea after that CoCo book was to write either a ColecoVision or Intellivision history book, but both of those have since been spoken for. I didn't really think there was anything else worth covering that hasn't already been covered, but like I said, based on some other ideas I was working on, I think Texas Instruments's personal computing ambitions would make for a nifty story. As I stated in another thread, it's long overdue for the TI-99/4a to get some more exposure, and this is a potentially great way of doing it. Anyway, the main reason why I'm writing about just a germ of an idea is I'd like to get some feedback. Like I said, one of the reasons why the CoCo book turned out so good was that we had access to many of the individuals who made that computer series what it was. Without that same type of access, this book wouldn't be as good, and I really wouldn't accept such a scenario. I'd like to get a sense of how potentially available key individuals would be for interviews, and if anyone has good archives available (outside of what has already been generously made available online, of course). As with the CoCo book, I think it would be a good idea for me to partner with (as co-author) a true TI-99/4a expert, which I can balance out with my more casual, but still extensive collection/knowledge of the computer series. I would target this book to a traditional publisher. With that said, there's always a chance that a publisher won't be interested, and, in that case, self publishing would have to be pursued. I haven't had to self publish yet, but there's always a first time, so that's something to keep in mind. As with most books of this type, there is little monetary reward either. If written well, this could certainly move at least 1000 copies over a few year span, which is not much, but would be acceptable for a niche product like this. Anyway, thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc., are all welcome and appreciated. Thanks!- 32 replies

I came across an odd piece tucked in one of my old books - it is a black plastic full keyboard overlay that is used for the original CHESS cartridge on the original TI-99/4 computer with the square chicklet keys - may have only been made in 1979 but don't quote me on that. A good example of it can be seen here: http://www.ti994.com/1979/cartridges/ I'll get a picture up on here soon. I am not sure if I could call this RARE, but I do not see these come up for sale on ebay often with the cartridges. Anyways, always looking to trade for Commodore, or TI, or COCO, or ADAM, or Atari, or timex sinclair stuff. Let me know if there is any interest.
