+Ksarul Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I do have Arcturus. I found one of those a few years ago, Ciro. This particular Killer Caterpillar is one that was unknown to the community, so it increases the number of known examples of the cartridge by one (my notes indicate that there are now three known Killer Caterpillar cartridges, a few less than Arcturus, but close, as there are at least five or six of those in collector hands). It also shows that really good cartridges still show up in interesting places once in a while. The guy who found it picked it up as part of a group of cartridges that he got at a flea market/yard sale near PeBo's neck of the woods. . .the lot also had one of those nice TI-Original drawer-style cartridge boxes. I also did some research on the case. It appears that this case design may work as both a side port and as a cartridge port design, depending on the installed cartridge board. It has a lot more room in it than a standard TI cartridge case too--and when used in the cartridge port, the foot points up, so it has a great handle. It does give me some ideas that I plan to hash out with Acadiel. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Installation of SD2SCSI in my PEB (finally.) Has a 256MB microSD. It occurrs to me that I can "partition" larger cards to appear as multiple devices on the chain, so I may drop a 1GB card in and divide it into four 256MB devices. EDIT: Also note that this is buss-powered by the WHT SCSI card's TERMPWR output. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely nothing will go wrong with that Does anyone feel like sharing pics of similar such experimentation gear? -M@ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It's been a dream of mine for the last couple of years to see an interface card for the TI-PEB that something like that could just plug into, without the need for a R@RE & EXPEN$IVE SCSI card. Sadly, because of time, effort, money and engineering involved, with a limited market, I've come to terms with the fact that that is something I will never have.

+jedimatt42 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 WoW Ah, nice, that gives me an idea... I should build a little edge to proto-header adapter that can be used with the rainbow pebox boot extender cables. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the HDX and the Lotharek(?) and the new multi-capable carts, I would say this kind of set up is largely relegated. Not impractical for certain purposes, but almost a non-need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impractical for certain purposes, but almost a non-need. Yeah, you're 100% correct, but it would have been so cool to have anyway. To that end, I've been able to get a lot of my most used programs and utilities onto the FR99, which freed up a lot of disk space for other things that cannot effectively be put into a cartridge. Now I've discovered yet another want need (groan)... a menu system that can LOAD off of cartridge and disk or even HDX. (It's always something isn't it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, really, with the plethora of restaurants with which we are blessed -- some which will bring the food to you -- is the kitchen necessary? I might have something to say about the bathroom, being the a hole and easily replace the toilet, but I rather enjoy my showers, so that can stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The kitchen is to provide the steady stream of junk food and snacks he'll need to fuel his game play. Of course, then he'll need an appropriate live-in maid to prepare and serve the food--and she'll need the bedroom for her own downtime. He can just sprawl on the floor between his prizes and snooze once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkdrummer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm in a one bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home. It also has 3 dens or man caves if you will - one is the TI room, and the other two are set up drum kits & TI storage rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
