ti99iuc Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yes, indeed, i agree about different needs of course, my post was also to compare how much different will be a compressed image when zoomed. I will keep the original uncompressed ones of course and really thanks for all your work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbox Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Today's manual scan is ZOMBIE MAMBO, a cassette program from TImagination. Strictly it is TWO linked programs! Joystick required. Supplied as separate tif files for you to ocr, print or pdf as you wish. The two programs are on the disk that I posted in this thread a few posts back. Enjoy.

+Ksarul Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I usually try to keep my scans as good as possible for the same reason: data preservation. Some scans actually sharpen bad copies a little--enough that I can blow it up and type a restored copy into my computer. I've done this with about a dozen really poor quality scans in the past, and will probably do at least that many more as I get time to do so. The compressed PDF format is good for day-to-day use though, so it has great value too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah, this is for the convenience of the masses, nothing more. Black box is doing us all a great service by putting them up in the original format. I on the other-hand take a few liberties "here and there". For instance in this one I cropped and straightened the cover page, which required the text in the upper right-hand side to be redone. I'm not sure how much difference you'll see, but this time I've put both versions up, the original at 10.1mb and the compressed version (-88%) at 1.23mb. If you notice any difference after printing let me know and I may not make the compressed versions any more.

ti99iuc Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hey Omega, my post was just to highlight too much compression of the document and to the detriment of so much loss of quality. now in these PDFs you have used a better compression ratio, bravo! i have this problem, Doing a lot of graphic work maybe I'm suffering from fussiness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl99 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 TI DSDD FDC Manual and DSDD FDC GPL Interface Manual.pdf Hi Lee! Big thank you for scanning this. In case nobody else noticed, this document contains a not yet released updated version of the "GPL interface specification for the 99/4 Disk Peripheral". So far we had Version 2.0. This one from Lee is updated and got renamed to also covers the 99/8: "GPL Interface specification for the 99/4 and 99/8 Disk Peripheral". It also explains when the Buffer is not in VDP but in CPU Ram like on the 99/8. Many thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARKET SIMULATION- TI Disk - a background copyright of 1972 is indicated, quite an ancient program. ZERO ZAP- module- Milton Bradley.

blackbox Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Something a little unusual- docs for a hybrid device/module: Personal Peripherals Inc Super Sketch Sketch Master. The zip has a variety of image goodies- the envelope containing the "documentation", the single page instructions, the four pictures supplied to trace, and a few photographs of the module/device. This is the ONLY module I have where the module label folds underneath the module instead of the normal label that folds over the top of the module. enjoy Stephen supersketch.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Note that there are six Navarone cartridges that can also be found using this particular cartridge case: Disk Fixer, Super Duper, Data Base Manager, Speed Reading A, Speed Reading B, and Console Writer. I personally have physical examples of all but Speed Reading A in this case, but Ciro has one of this variety, so I know they exist. Most Navarone cartridges are in either the Romox or TI style cases (or both). Only the six titles listed above can also be found in the Personal peripherals cases, and finding them is a bit of a hunt, but perseverence pays off. I've found all of mine in the last four years, once I realized these variants existed. They usually hide in plain sight because they generally resemble the TI cases, but close examination allows ready identification. I got my Data base Manager cartridge from a collector who claimed they had no cartridges in these cases--and asked me for the best ways to identify them. A month later, he sold me the cartridge as it was excess to his needs--and it was in a PPI case! He didn't know he had it, and was very surprised when I told him that it was the weird case variant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
