Dexter Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hello friends, After about 2 months, I turned on my TI-99/4A. Luckily it still works like a charm. I’ve been almost completely absent, and only read the sad news about Gazoo. Reason for being absent is due to my bad health. I’m suffering from a disease which causes my lungs to be working for 20%, which logically results into very little energy to do anything, including hobby. From now on I’m at home again, and I’ll sparsely try to participate here on the forum, and push some electrons through my beloved TI-99/4A. I hope to be able to:• help a forum friend to fix some jobs we’d intended;• work a little on my game SIMON;• work on MARC-3, my TMS9995 based homebrew computer. So I’ll probably be quiet, but present, most of the time. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfernalKeith Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Welcome back. I have a friend here in Ohio fighting cystic fibrosis. We take each breath for granted until they're not easy to obtain. Keep the fight and spare us a hello when you are able. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 . Dexter Instruments MyARC-3 Maybe a longer-termed project? Schmiddy LOL! Well, MARC stands for my rl first name "Marco", and as the acronym for "My Adorable Retro Computer". I hope not too long, because I'd also like to program for it.

My best wishes to you and your projects -- looking forward to Simon and your 9995 hardware project. Please let us in on your progress, as the latter is on my wish list as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks for those cheers my friends! Using the TMS9995 has been made possible for me by finding Stuart’s breadboard design: http://www.avjd51.dsl.pipex.com/tms99110_breadboard/tms99110_breadboard.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
