globeron Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Without reading the notes/details, I bought this Corcomp 9900 Micro Expansion System (scroll down to see the pictures) http://www.ebay.com/itm/351556162146?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but it has only the serial ports (I can look inside, there are no connections to the 32k led nor diskcontroller LED PS - no complaints to the person offering it, because he mentioned it in the notes (I just did not pay attention). Initially my idea was to have an easy way to add 32K to the TI (so that the 2048K games module can work, without a nano-PEB attached) 1. How easy is it to add 32K to this Corcomp 9900 Micro Expansion System ? and optionally a diskcontroller ? to make the system complete. * it came with an 110V adapter (and can use a converter), but I also know where to order a 220V one (I have the PDF with parts) 2. or should I stick to build 32k mod of Tursi inside the console (see other thread) ? 3. or can we do something else with the Corcomp 9900 Micro Expansion System * insert the nano-Peb (so that it has proper housing ?) * add the SAMS 1Mb card ? * add a Lotharek connector and card ? Other ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Have you verified the 32k is not present in this unit by going into XB and issue a SIZE command ? I know there were models that did not have the disk controller but not sure about 32k not being added in any models. I myself never owned one so I don't know. Easy way is what I recommended above. I don't know if it is a simply chip upgrade(addition; but I doubt it) for the 9900 FDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The 32K and Disk Controller portions of the CorComp were on the same daughter board. CorComp used to sell the board as a separate upgrade, but I have only ever seen one come up for sale on eBay--and it sold for about $200. . .

globeron Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I guess, I am missing the top board (diskcontroller and 32K): http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/hardware/9900_micro/9900_micro.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks for the very fast replies (I am boarding a flight now), I cannot check until 2.5 weeks, but pretty sure I need to find the extra board to make it complete. If someone sees it, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
