wierd_w Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I saw, too bad I can't read dutch. I am looking forward to its arrival. I am 3D printing a PEB plastic front right now for test fitting. Having my own unit to test out manufactured components on will go a long ways to finishing the PEB measurement project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of bodge wires on the board, it's probably legit. I'm wondering what the ribbon cable over the ROMs is for. I still have 2x TI-99/4s (2x different types, 1 without the solid state cartridge, but with the volume slider, speaker inside, mic. connector and power output using the big pin hole) and another with the solid state cartridge (like the picture, with mic. connector, normal power and (no volume slider, no speaker). I cannot remember if I completely opened them up, but I can do it in 2020 as they are still in BKK, but now I am wondering if the volume slider one \ is a product one or engineering one. How to tell ? I thought volume slider ones were produced earlier than the covered solid state cartridge ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think I now have everything of TI-99/4a to sell online in ebay (and once I am in BKK in 2020 will see what I can sell more) as I am still shipping 4 boxes over with TI-gear.

How to tell ? I thought volume slider ones were produced earlier than the covered solid state cartridge ones? The slider versions were the first ones released in Europe, as the originally approved European spec monitor didn't have sound capability. They fixed that issue really early on (using a different monitor), so very few of the slider consoles were actually made. Every one I've seen had a date code between the last two weeks of 1979 and about the sixth week of 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wierd_w Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 There's still a place for a PEB though. Ramdisks, SAMS cards, etc. There's also a nostalgia factor for listening to the whirl and grunt of a disk drive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I connected the peripheral and booted it up. Nostalgic sounds a plenty. I get this. This weekend I am hoping to get a shugart. Oh the memories. Coincidently, can you stack 32k sidecars? I have the PCB for 1 and wonder if a second would work? I wonder bout things alot.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A P-Box goes a long way in keeping future options open. Being that I use a FinalGROM and have a TIPI in my P-Box, I don't see a great need for a RAMdisk, but the TripleTech gives me options I use, and further down the road I have great hopes for my SAMS card. As for the grunt of a disk drive, I'll probably retire mine before too long as I no longer seem to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's just trying to make a buck before Christmas. I recently purchased an entire library of several Atari ST magazines in pdf from eBay. Much easier paying a few bucks than tracking them all down and downloading them myself. He's marketing convenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
