The coupon coincides with my 1,000th positive feedback. I had not considered that before, so I wonder if that is part of why I received the invitation. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Ksarul #4403 Posted September 14, 2019 That is entirely likely, actually. I'll see if a similar strangeness occurs whenever I hit 5,000. . .as 1,000 was so long ago that they weren't doing anything but changing the color of the star and treating the color change as a big thing in and of itself.

Omega-TI #4404 Posted September 15, 2019 There is an empty TI-99/4A P-Box for sale on Ebay << HERE >>. The seller is asking $150.00 and the cost of shipping COULD make it around $200.00.... but he has the make offer button active. So, if you ever had plans of becoming a future TI "power user" with a SAMS card, TIPI, and whatever else you could stick in it, making an offer cannot hurt. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Ksarul #4409 Posted September 25, 2019 Actually, that one is a bit more difficult to find than most as an original CorComp cartridge (the one being sold is original), as the majority of these cartridges in circulation were later copies made by TexComp or Comptetition Computers (likely both, but I only have copies with a known Competition Computers provenance in my collection). It is not rare enough as an original to warrant a price over $50 to $75 though, even with the manual and the loopback plug that originally came with it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Ksarul #4411 Posted September 25, 2019 The loopback plug is to allow the RS-232 card to be fully tested, as it loops RS-232/1 to RS-232/2 to fully test that card. It isn't needed for any of the other system tests. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Ksarul #4414 Posted September 25, 2019 Peripheral Diagnostic Module. It has the functions of the TI Diagnostics module and performs some additional tests as well, so it is actually a useful cartridge for troubleshooting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
