Here is a zip file of hi res .TIF images, scanned from the User Group magazine:

Chicago TImes May 1987  Part 2 of 2

40 pages, A5 size, blue cover, white paper inside.
For you to read, print, ocr,or  pdf.  Feel free to add to archive.org if you have an account and are able to use their uploader!
Some interesting contents include:  Using ###.##; a lengthy review of Console-Calc; a lesson in  Assembly- guiding a character through a maze; and a further article on uscd pascal.

Next one up will be a bumper 76 page Chicago magazine, could be several days (especially as my locale is in a warning area for over 104F/40C heat hazard- and no air con.)

Now we are into rather thicker magazines updates may become less often!

Two items for interest...

Where are the manuals?
It has been ages since I listed the manuals alphabetically here- we even have a chock full new website of them.  So here we have three lists in pdf format:
1. All sources index- tells you the website where you can find the manual for X.
   Quite easy to locate on ti99iuc and pixelpedant, but atariage and wht are harder to find things so therefore:
2. Atariage alphabetic list with actual links to the posts.
3. wht alphabetic list which will guide you to the folder in which the document is found.   
Errors and omissions are of course all mine. Lists compiled July 2022.


Where can I get the software Goflyakite?
I was considering an index of software, but with 600 Basic/XB games transferred to fg99 bin files alone, that would be an immense task.  Certainly wht, archive.org, ti99iuc,  and other sources have a huge amount of software available.  Do we have or need a thread on here for people to ask about software they are looking for? Not just a one off thread for one item of software,but a continuing thread for software availability queries.

Ahhh.... just after I put up a list of links on Atariage we learn all the url's are going to change in a few days.... oh well. The wht links are still fine. Let's see- before the change occurs some basic information.


 

The list has links in two forms:
/?p=3866062   
/?do=findComment&comment=3866062
The first link actually takes you to the second, which is the real link. Both forms function as at 4 Aug 2022.
To access these links via the web archive you need to add to the start: 
http://web.archive.org/web/20220801/ 
I have selected two at random in the older format, and these both return the  page holding the document, which is available:
Sengoku Jidai  (Cassette)(Not Polyoptics) (2 or 3 players)
http://web.archive.org/web/20220801/https://atariage.com/forums/topic/248687-ti-99-docs-manuals-ebooks-lost-found/?p=4195292

http://web.archive.org/web/20220801/https://atariage.com/forums/topic/248687-ti-99-docs-manuals-ebooks-lost-found/?p=4227083
And I have chosen one at random in the newer format:
Disk of the Ancient Ones:
http://web.archive.org/web/20220801/https://atariage.com/forums/topic/248687-ti-99-docs-manuals-ebooks-lost-found/?do=findComment&comment=4659799
In all three cases I received the page containing the post and then did a page search for the title.


As the results I got back from archive.org were all dated 4th August I suspect someone has requested that archive.org archive the whole forum for safety sake!?
SO.... that index list is not a complete waste of time and can still be used, just add the web archive bit at the start.


GOING FORWARD:  Three years back, at the last change, I had problems, but work here rewriting the web page css and by Albert adjusting the server got me back in, to add several scanned documents over the years...   this next change is quite likely to also lock me out for a short period, but if it does I will see if Albert can assist.  If everything works well, I will adjust the list and repost it.
If Albert and I can't make the new homepage work for me, and I am excluded, I will scan to wht instead.

Yes I have ancient software and yes I have even older hardware - but adding scanned documents does not merit my buying new hardware.  I have tried upgrading my browser, failed miserably, it is beyond me.  The owners of the software to be used market the ONLY Android app that crashed my router (!!!) so I have no great faith in their coding.
take care all, I can squeeze one more in by Monday, and then we shall see what we shall see.      Stephen

Here is a zip file containing clean hi res TIF images scanned from the British TI99/4a User Group magazine:
TI*MES Issue 42, Autumn 1993 

  for you to read, OCR, PDF, print or add to an archive.org collection.
  80 pages, A5 size, pale blue covers, white pages inside.

 Some longer articles than usual in this issue.  Separate pdf of contents.

If I can access the new site OK it looks as if updating the articles list should be easy- keep watch!   If all else fails this thread at least seems to be fully on web archive- http://web.archive.org/web/202208/https://atariage.com/forums/topic/248687-ti-99-docs-manuals-ebooks-lost-found/#comments

Due to the server settings at present I have to access the site using a proxy. (works with 2 out of 3 proxies tried). My best endeavours will not allow me to see any web site where the server is set to "https elliptical curve only" - Microsoft themselves dislike this setting!! Try using elliptical curve only on an Azure hosted site...
(I also can't access websites that pay cloudflare to stop anyone visiting them by using a paranoid setting!- not a problem with atariage)

With forums.atariage I can view the contents, download documents, log in.... and if you can read this I can post text..

BUT I am unable to upload documents at the moment... indeed I can only see the reply box if I turn off css. With css turned on- nothing. With script turned on-nothing.

No "choose files" option with script and/or css on or off - and I can never use any "drag and drop" options on any web site so no more uploads from me just now. Give it a week or so to settle down and then if I've not posted here again, check wht. I could post an updated index to atariage as a single huge post, but I'll be friendly and avoid that- however I may add it as a link on my own webpage.

Have fun Stephen

Just curious, what web browser and version are you running?

 

You can try clearing your browser's cache to make sure there's nothing old that's cached and may be causing problems.

 

I probably cannot do anything about the security settings since I don't control the server environment, I will take a look at them, though.

Old ones! My PC is old. My operating system is old. (I am old!) But they work.
Browsers available on this machine are Opera 12.16; Konqueror 3.5.10; Firefox 20.0; Seamonkey 2.17, lynx 2.8.7rel.2; and w3m/0.5.3
The principal lack is no support for EC only servers.

I have been trying to get the latest Vivaldi on board but there are so many problems I think it may be impossible on this machine.
(NB: When you have an archaic nvidia video card, upgrading the kernel is not supported- never ever buy nvidia!)

So I guess that will be the last of my uploads to the forum. It's been fun! I will put together a final updated index to the software manual/software docs posts on here, and add it to my website tomorrow at:
http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/atariage_docs_index.pdf

with an overall index of all web sites to be found at
http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/manual_index.pdf

I'll still be dropping by and looking in - mine is the sad face you see at the window in the snow and ice.... bye s

Michael Kürbis hat damals vieles an Hardware gemacht. Ich habe damals beim Regionaltreff sein TI PC Tastatur Karte für die Peri Box ausgetestet. . .

 

And for the English-speaking crowd:

 

Michael Kürbis made a lot of hardware back then. I had an opportunity at a regional TI meeting to play with his TI-PC Keyboard Card for the PEB. . .
