Why are there silver and beige versions of the 99? I have both but don't know the difference.

The only difference, as I understand, was the cost of production - the silver units were the early models, and the beige later units made to save on costs, when TI was losing money to competitors.

The only difference to care about, I think, is the v2.2 consoles, which were beige. If your title screen shows "v2.2", you have one. TI used v2.2 to lock out third-party vendors like Atari.

But it's worth noting that not all beige consoles have 2.2 motherboards.

That's right - I have two of the beige units, and neither are v2.2. Although it should be noted that for what ever reason, the 'newest' console oddly does not run Beyond WordWriter - the only third party software that I know of that won't run on that machine.

Now, if I could only do a direct transfer rather than a label.

Oh I LIKE THAT!

How much would you charge me to make a little label like that?

I was thinking of replacing the "Solid State Software" badge with an "F18A Equipped" badge, but your's is great!

A stamp? It really is nothing special. A $20 Casio label maker with black/clear label tape. Voila! It does look surprisingly good for what it is, though. I can send you a couple

I sent you a PM...... THANKS!

OLD CS1,

Thank you so much for the stickers! They arrived today, and now my TI is "stylin" just like yours!

[+OLD CS1]

Glad you appreciate them. One thing I really like about the way they print is the text matches up width-wise to "computer" and fits very well between. I would love to get a real badge print done. Might ask around.

 

And it looks like you do indeed have a very steady hand!

A few pix of my FULL setup before I moved and slightly downsized.

 

This first one is of the current setup, but on a different desk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one is of my old programming setup with GK and CF7+ (first edition)

 

 

 

 

This is my prized complete set of original Funware cartridges. Not alot of guys have the complete original set.

 

 

 

 

 

My son got started early!!!

Not for lack of trying, though!

This is not me ! But I like the video. Actually quite funny. Guess my English is perhaps not much better, so I'll spare you for now.

 

 

[+save2600]

Here's my TI setup. Would really like to get a CF7+ or NanoPEB someday.

 

My Popeye label has seen better days. Anyone producing repros for these Parker Bros. games yet?

BTW: I have two black/silver TI's and neither have the Solid State Software badge near the power button. Were those the earliest 4A's or what?

Vectrexroli is a new user on here since last month, I'd be interested in getting hold of his homebrew games to put in Gamebase.
