TI-99 Photos Thread! Post your systems here!

Some current pix of my awesome setup!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just.... boxes upon boxes upon totes upon totes of this. Sad......

[+OLD CS1]

I think the whole drive dedicated to Xevious is interesting! ....It was a great NES game.

 

 

I particularly like the ceiling mounted chain-so that you can flush without having to leave the TI.

 

 

...maybe it is to flush the DNS-Server on the upper floor.

 

Actually, what is REALLY funny about that is "Xevious" is my internal DNS, DHCP, SMTP, and syslog aggregation server running Solaris 8. FTR, it is a 500MHz AMD K6-III+ with 128MB RAM and a 120GB SSD. So, yeah, I could have a pull-chain to flush the Bind cache Xevious is the only remaining server of a half-dozen game-theme named servers from around 2002 or so. It runs like a damn champ and all I have to do is replace the PSU and CPU fans every once in a while.

Not quite Ti-99 related, but if we're showing racks, here's mine (well the UDS10 is connected to the LAN and PEB) :-

 

 

It's split in two. The top half is the networking, and the bottom half is the AV as it's located in the theatre room which I've just finished...........well, phase one........

[+Schmitzi]

hmm, looks like that you mounted it in the basement, in the niche under the stairs ?

Nice frame

If so, how do you pass the hot air away ? through an vent in one of the upper stair-steps ?

[wyerd]

It's in the loft's old bonus room. The air is drawn through the grille above the receiver and out at the top by the 1U fan. The room itself is connected to the house's central AC. You can just see the white thermostat on the left of the pic.

[+Schmitzi]

ah, in the loft, OK. also thought of that, because of that angle in the upper right.

But was covinced from the downstairs

 

a cool solution, literally

Man that is the nicest rack I've ever seen that did not have to be labeled as !

Thanks! You should see the other side when it's pulled out - it's not as neat as the front. BTW, I also made each and every one of the patch cables - it took a while!

my humble setup

 

i use the built-in drive as drive 3. drive 1 and 2 are on the HxC floppy emulator. i'll get a bigger monitor eventually

 

 

[Omega-TI]

Have you ever considered getting one of these...

...then mounting the unit in a case to get a better angle on the display and to protect the electronics? You would be able to have the display and the SD card at the same angle.

 

Ciro mounted his in the P-Box itself, but I would never have the guts to go hacking on the PEB!

[daafies]

Yea for sure i need to do that still.

Ciro's box looks awesome

Well, i do not like so much hacking vintage items too, but i can change idea on items that have not more a life...

The PEB i hacked was really in dead conditions: Very rusty inside, stained and scratched on external plastics, power supply absent.

I gave him a new life... I thought that it could never be as like the original, and then I changed for my needs of actually use.

thank you daafies ... i am happy you like...

 

 

i also done some update on my modification lastly,

 

i changed the Power Supply with a new one from the Classic Arcade of the '80 years

 

 

it has 4A for Floppy Drives

 

I also inserted the HxC in a 3.5" case so it will more easy to update the SD Card (before of this i had to open everytime the PEB cover)

 

 

and update the front panel of the SD Card with a PowerButton On/Off so i can change the sd card without poweroff the PEB, and also e number drive settings so i can decide the number of the drive without open the PEB too :)

 

 

i have some other idea for other details, the third drive is external

 

 

 

in past days, my friend gifted me some spare parts of TI99 beige and silver, in very ugly condition and missing parts... i really believe that i will do some hack with these too :)

one only problem for me.... lot of ideas but really not enough time for complete them

Ahhh, that make sense! If it was already thrashed everything is an improvement with nothing to lose.

Managed to add this to the collection for less than £2

[+Ksarul]

Nice find--and a very good book to have too!

Here's my humble TI 99/4a setup, combined with my Atari 130XE on the same monitor, at the latest meeting of the Atlanta Historical Computing Society last week.

[+Ksarul]

I'm glad to see you were able to show it! Awareness that a classic system is still alive is a very good thing. Nice beginning for a really good system too--you have parsec which is one of the better old-school games.

very nice system. how did you connect the screen to the TI ? (can´t see the cable)

 

[LynxHandyCaster]

Hope this photo helps show you how I have the TI hooked up (the white coaxial cable). The black cables are connected to my Atari 130XE.

[+Schmitzi]

thank you

Some nice other bits 'n' pieces in there, like the Wico Boss, the 1050 and the Touch Tablet.

Do TI-59s count?

[+Ksarul]

I've got an SR-50 and an SR-56, but I never did pick up a TI-59 for some reason. I do have the maintenance manual for the Mag Tape Strip port though. . .
