All I see is this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Personal-Peripherals-PPI-Super-Sketch-Computer-Sketch-Pad-1984/143210139093?hash=item2157fd4dd5:g:l3IAAOSw1lxcrl0M It has the joystick plug, so I guess it is the C-64 version.

That is a bargain. But no more eBay toys for me this month. I bought a keyboard for Geneve ($25 new old stock PC/XT/AT keyboard!). I bought the French-language TI Le Clown Magique, which is frightening in any language. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 What is that SketchMate disk?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 SketchMate was a software disk that would add options to your use of the SuperSketch. I may actually have a copy of it, as I saw the manual when I was looking for something else in a bunch of third party manuals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At next year's VCF-SE, I intend to offer attendees a way to print what they produce with the SuperSketch. Right now I plan to simply capture the screen and print it. If there is an easy and quick way to do it programmatically, I would like to try it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FarmerPotato Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I found an article about SketchMate. See page 10 http://www.whtech.com/ftp/user groups/Mid South/midsouth8505.pdf I recall reading about it in MicroPendium. So yes it prints. Hope your dot matrix printer is in good shape. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really need the cart port expander to use this software with the SuperSketch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it. It runs from E/A or XB, and you cannot use the tablet without the SuperSketch cart. My guess is you load and run the program, then switch over to the SuperSketch cart to produce your drawing. My only concern is whether the interface is true to the SuperSketch program. In theory, I could use this with my CF7+ and its parallel port. I have an old LaserJet 6L with a parallel port. Might be worth trying. The prints will not be in color but will be more era-appropriate. Though, if I video capture I can print on photo paper, producing something similar to how the manual recommends capturing the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 It is a good deal, sadly, with the cartridges and SAMS card shown, it looks like it *MAY* be one of our AtariAge family getting out of the system. ? In 'downsizing' his retro collection, I hope it's only someone's 'backup' system. Any guesses who it may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Man... am I the *only* TI enthusiast that's doesn't have a black/silver model with the 'Solid State Cartridge' badge? Sure seems like it sometimes. One of these days, I'll find a mint example for reasonable. I hope. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine doesn't have the badge and I purposely went out of my way to ensure my latest console didn't have one. It always left a small imprint on my hand when I would rest it there and tended to annoy me. (I also like my laptops without a trackpad for similar reasons, though mostly because I've used the ibm/lenovo track pointer since the 90s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
